name() gives you a lexical QName (prefix:local) and xsl:element requires
that if you use a prefixed QName in the name attribute, with no namespace
attribute, then the prefix must be declared in the stylesheet.
If you really want to create an element called <xsi:type> then use
<xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}"> as suggested.
However, I can't imagine what use an element called <xsi:type> might be to
anyone.

Subject: [xsl] Namespace match error. XSL to convert
attribute-centric to element-centric.
I'm trying to convert an xml document from attribute-centric
to element-centric using the following stylesheet.
(This is ConvertToElements2.xsl referred to below)
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*" >
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select=3D"."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" >
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If I apply it to the following data :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<slots xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="generic_snmp_slots.xsd">
<slot name="RevMajor" use="yes" description="The Major
Revision level."/> </slots>
I get an error as follows (this is using Saxon, on Windows XP):
(some lines of batchfile removed)
C:\Projects\Drivers\Mib>set
CLASSPATH=3DC:/Downloads/Saxon/saxonb8-9j/saxon8.jar
C:\Projects\Drivers\Mib>java net.sf.saxon.Transform
Slots4.xml C:/Projects/Tools_RK/Xsl/ConvertToElements2.xsl
outfile=3DSlots4_Elements.xml
Error at xsl:element on line 12 of
file:/C:/Projects/Tools_RK/Xsl/ConvertToElements2.xsl:
XTDE0830: Undeclared prefix in element name: xsi Transformation
failed: Run-time errors were reported
I take it this error is due to the "xsi:" namespace of the
"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" attribute of my source data.
How can I handle this ?
I thought matching "*" would match everything. Do I need to
tell it to ignore namespaces ? Or match namespaces somehow ?
Or is this an XML error (wrong name for the schema attribute
perhaps) that is thus nothing to do with XSL ?
Uncertainly,
Richard.
