template match - how to specify OR conditon

I want to specify a match expression in a template that will get invoked on multiole namespaces of element:

<xsl:template match="*[namespace-uri()='abc.com' or namespace-uri()='def.com']">
  ...
</xsl:template>

But this does not seem to work. It only gets invoked if left side of or expression is true.

    <xsl:template match="*[namespace-uri()='abc.com' or namespace-uri()='def.com']"> 
      ... 
    </xsl:template>

But this does not seem to work.

This is correct code.

So, the problem is in the code that you haven't shown to us. Please, also provide a simple XML document so that everyone could apply the provided XSLT code to the provided XML document and repro the problem.

Here is a demonstration that the "suspected" code is correct:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <xsl:template match="*[namespace-uri()='def.com' or namespace-uri()='abc.com']">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when this transformation is applied on this XML document:

<a>
 <b:b xmlns:b="abc.com">
  <c/>
 </b:b>
 <f/>
 <d:d xmlns:d="def.com">
  <e/>
 </d:d>
</a>

the wanted, correct result is produced:

<b:b xmlns:b="abc.com">
   <c/>
</b:b>
<d:d xmlns:d="def.com">
   <e/>
</d:d>

The usual approach to work with namespaces is to declare them e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:abc="http://example.com/abc"
  xmlns:def="http://example.com/def"
  exclude-result-prefixes="abc def">

<xsl:template match="abc:* | def:*">...</xsl:template>

...

</xsl:stylesheet>

That being said, I don't see anything wrong with your or predicate expression, other than that you haven't provided any input you use it with.
