The shortBad.xml file that is supplied is not a valid iso19139 file. It is however a valid XML file. The problem is related to the update-fixed-info.xsl which is not interpreting the gco:CharacterString properly when supplied as "CharacterString xmlns....".

Temporary quick fix is to turn off the "automatic fixes" in the "system configuration".

By doing "name()!='????'" in the xslt we are assuming that the name is fully qualified with the namespace attached. It seems better to no use special functions and simply use something like "not(self::???)" - this seems to have corrected the problem.

However I'm not an XLST expert so the fix should be tested.

A better way is to simply rewrite the xml using the namespace prefix. Otherwise there may be other usage of the "name()" on other elements that will be skipped as well.

Just curious Ian, when you say the sample is not a valid iso19139 file, do you mean because it is incomplete?

If so, good-oh, that was deliberate ;-)

If not, in what way is it invalid? (I'm not aware of any requirement in iso19139 that the namespaces be aliased.)

Yes, that is what I meant - it was incomplete.
