adding author titlepage.mode xsl template to customization layer causes broken author div in xhtml

You need to add a default namespace declaration to an XHTML 
customization layer.  See:

Subject: [docbook-apps] adding author titlepage.mode xsl
template 
to customization layer causes broken author div in xhtml


Hi DocBook-Apps,

Following

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxs
l/ModifyElemTemplates.html#ModifyElemTemplates

I copied the author template to my customization layer. As
soon 
as I
used the layer to regenerate some documents (even without 
modifying
that template), I noticed the h3 author heading wasn't
applied 
and
that the newline after the author name was ignored in the
xhtml
version of the document. The html version still rendered 
correctly. I
tracked this problem down to the stylesheets creating the
author 
div
with an xmlns="" attribute, but I do not know
why this occurs.

I would like to eventually modify this template to show more
information, such as the author address, and to change the 
display of
the author's name to a hyperlink anchor pointing to the
author's 
email
address.

Here is my prototype template for that, though it doesn't
work in 
the
customization layer due to the xhtml div's
xmlns="" issue:

<xsl:template match="author"
mode="titlepage.mode">
  <div class="{name(.)}">
    <h3 class="{name(.)}">
      <a class="{name(.)}">
<xsl:attribute
name="href">mailto:<xsl:value-of
select="./email"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:call-template name="person.name"/>
      </a>
    </h3>
    <xsl:apply-templates
mode="titlepage.mode" 
select="./contrib"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates
mode="titlepage.mode" 
select="./affiliation"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates
mode="titlepage.mode" 
select="./address"/>
  </div>
</xsl:template>

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

By the way, I think someone reported this issue a while back
but
didn't recieve any responses:

Thank you,
