There may be more than one prefix bound to a given namespace URI, but
name(namespace::*[.=$uri][1])
will give you the first one.
Alternatively use substring-before(name(.), ':')

# Subject: [xsl] getting the namespace prefix
#
# Hi,
# I know we can get the local name of an element with the
# local-name() function, and the namespace-uri with the
# namespace-uri() function, however, given the namespace uri,
# is there a way I could find out the namespace prefix used for
# a particular element? ie, say I know that the namespace uri
# for a particular element or set of elements is
# "http://purl.org/atom/ns#";, is there a way to pick up the
# namespace prefix used on those elements?
# Thanks,
# Munna
