Ick! What happens when the same namespace is bound to a different  
prefix? I sure hope you found a cleaner way :) One such way would be:

<xsl:template match="//*[namespace-uri() = 'http://ns.for.fooble']"/>

or even better, assuming you've declared the fooble prefix in your  
stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="//fooble:*"/>

Like all rules of thumb, "don't use prefixes unless forced to" has  
its exceptions (one of which is typically XSLT).
