I guess that you haven't discovered the delights of xsl:namespace-alias, then. You can define an "alias" namespace which takes the place of the XSLT namespace within your stylesheet and then gets replaced on output. That makes it a lot easier to write the stylesheets (though it's still a little confusing) because you can use literal result elements rather than xsl:element/xsl:attribute. For example, in this stylesheet 'xsl' is the prefix for XSLT instructions to be interpreted in the stylesheet, whereas elements without a prefix are elements to be added to the result: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/TransformAlias"> <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="#default" result-prefix="xsl" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <stylesheet version="1.0"> <output method="html" /> <xsl:apply-templates /> </stylesheet> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="foo"> <template match="{@bar}"> ... </template> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> > Reading this over, its difficult to accurately convey what I'm > trying to do, much less the why.
