Here's what an HTML transform looks Like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3c//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/tr/html4/strict.dtd">
<html xmlns:wt="http://www.example.com">
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>XML Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
The red part is the part in question.
By poking around, I found out about
exclude-result-prefixes<html><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:wt="http://www.example.com">
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01"/>
<xsl:output doctype-system="http://www.w3c.org/tr/html4/strict.dtd"/>
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3c//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html xsl:exclude-result-prefixes="wt">
<head>
<title>XML Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul><xsl:apply-templates/></ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="wt:weetest">
<li><ul><xsl:apply-templates/></ul></li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="wt:data_name">
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
However, we now have whacked one mole, only to have another pop up, thusly:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3c//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/tr/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>XML Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li xmlns:wt="http://www.example.com">
<ul>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
This will continue, so there must be a global way to do it. I'll figure it out soon, I'm sure, but I love the sound of crickets chirping, so I'll keep on asking here.
Why do I keep posting here, when I have yet to receive a single answer, and I keep solving my own problems in minutes or hours?
Because these issues are, from what I have seen, pretty typical of what people learning XML/XSLT go through, and I think it would be nice to leave a record of answers written in something other than the typical XML cuneiform script.
I'm absolutely appalled at the incredibly obtuse verbiage out there for XML. There is a TON of information and dozens of tools, but most of it is for people who have already gone past this point. The book I'm using as a text has holes through which you could drive a Mack truck.
I have had a great deal of difficulty deciphering some of the very muddy explanations out there into plain English that I can use to address these issues. In fact, most of the help I've received has been by reading threads posted by people as frustrated by the obfuscation as am I.

It requires that the
exclude-result-prefixes<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:wt="http://www.example.com" exclude-result-prefixes="wt">
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01"/>
<xsl:output doctype-system="http://www.w3c.org/tr/html4/strict.dtd"/>
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3c//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>XML Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul><xsl:apply-templates/></ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="wt:weetest">
<li><ul><xsl:apply-templates/></ul></li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="wt:data_name">
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
