RE: two namespaces and a position problem

/xml/s:Schema would work but you don't need to nest your XML root
element inside an <xml> element.

Strange thing is ... Schema is the top element under the <xml> element,
however if I remove the // or replace it with /s:Schema it does not
work.
That is why I used the //.  Not sure of an alternative.

Not sure if it is because this code is inside of 

<xsl:template match="rs:data">

and the Schema is in s namespace at top of xml doc.

Example xml

<xml ...>
        <s:Schema ..>
                <s:ElementType...>
                        <s:AttributeType..>
                        ...
                </s:ElementType>
        </s:Schema>

        <rs:data>
                <z:row...>
                        ....
                </z:row>
        </rs:data>
</xml>

please let me know if you see anything else wrong
since you asked:-)

<xsl:for-each
select="//s:Schema/s:ElementType/s:AttributeType">

Beware // there which means search the whole document,  You may know
that s:Schema is always at the top, but XSLT doesn't and will search the
entire document looking for all the s:Schema elements it can find.

It's probably right at the top in which case you want / not //
but even if you have some wrappers round the Schema element it is worth
having a more explict xpath /x/y/z/s:Schema.
