False. It is also a FAQ. (That's why we have FAQ lists...)

XSLT hardly ever cares what form namespaces in teh source take (ie what
prefix they have or if they don't have a prefix at all). But it always
cares about which namespace an element s=is in.

<element xmlns="http://www.e-xmlmedia.com/test/";>

so that is an element with local name "element" in the test namespace.


 <xsl:template match="/element">

that matches an element with local name "element" in the null namespace
so doesn't match your element.

You want
 <xsl:template match="/t:element">


and

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:t="http://www.e-xmlmedia.com/test/";

XPath's (like attribute names) do not use the default attribute setting
in the stylesheet.
