HI Mark, No, I mean that under Firefox, one cannot access xmlns: DOM elements at all from XSLT. This is because they are not attributes and Firefox does not support the namespace axis in XPath. The Mozilla Developer Center lists namespace: as "unsupported" on: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPath/Axes/namespace I would think that this would be a major problem for anyone trying to use XSLT on documents with RDFa from within the browser.
