XSLT Problem with soap namespace

Question

Hi there,
I have a problem transforming an XML doc with soap elements, using XSLT (Xalan).
Here's the input:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="http://www.ean.nl">
  <testthis>123456</testthis>
</soap:Envelope>and here's the XSL:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" exclude-result-prefixes="soap">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="soap:Envelope">
<Orders>
     <H01>
          <xsl:value-of select="testthis"/>
     </H01>
</Orders>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>I expect to get something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Orders>
<H01>123456<H01>
<Orders>But instead I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Orders>
<H01/>
</Orders>I've tried a lot of things and I'm probably overseeing something stupid, but I'm stuck.
It seems as if anything without soap: namespace cannot be processed by my XSL (when I add it in the input XML and XSL it works).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings,
Erik

Yes, I found it!
The following XSL for the same XML doc works!
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:ean="http://www.ean.nl" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" exclude-result-prefixes="soap">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="soap:Envelope">
<Orders>
     <H01>
          <xsl:value-of select="ean:testthis"/>
     </H01>
</Orders>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction :-)
