RE: [xsl] statically known namespaces

2006-07-10 06:31:36
Why is it that XQuery has inbuilt namespaces such as "xs", 
but XSLT does not?

I would have thought that XSLT 2.0 could benefit from having 
"xsl" and "xs" predefined, any thoughts?

An XSLT stylesheet is an XML document, and XML requires all namespaces to be
explicitly declared.

This enables a stylesheet to be processed using standard XML tools. (You can
use XQuery to search stylesheets, but you can't use it to search queries!)
