[xsl] XSl, sorting, namespaces and data-types, a problem?

[Ernst Wolthaus <ernst dot wolthaus at cmg dot nl>]

Hi there,

I'm using the following xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="sortorder" select="'descending'"/>
<xsl:param name="sortfield" select="'xxx'"/>

<xsl:template match="*|text()|@*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()|@*"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="root">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="data">
			<xsl:sort select="*[name()=$sortfield]"
order="{$sortorder}" />
		</xsl:apply-templates>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

And I'm using the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
 <data>
  <intNumber xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="i4">0</intNumber>
  <strName/>
 </data>
 <data>
  <intNumber xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="i4">1</intNumber>
  <strName>strName 1</strName>
 </data>
 <data>
  <intNumber xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="i4">2</intNumber>
  <strName>strName 2</strName>
 </data>
 <data>
  <intNumber xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="i4">3</intNumber>
  <strName>strName 3</strName>
 </data>
</root>

Now here's my problem:
When I strip away the type info, the XSL sorting works fine. When I add the
type-info, I seem to "loose" the content. I've added this XML to a
HTML-table as a data island. intNumber is not displayed, the cells stay
empty, strName is displayed as should be.
What's happening?

Greetz,
Ernst Wolthaus
