I know I'm being silly now...
Not really ... I've used entities for namespace URI strings when a
vocabulary changes its URI but the transformation of the elements is
unchanged: keep a master copy of the stylesheet in a source code
control system, deploy copies to two directories, use parameter
entities to define general entities with the namespace URI string,
and then each stylesheet supports a different version of the URI string.
There were other nuances that allowed me to address the differences
between vocabularies, but that was the gist.
I gather from other comments that XML syntactic features would rather
be ignored than employed in an XSLT stylesheet. My background is
SGML so not only do I not have an aversion to the syntactic
constructs, I tend to make use of them when I can.
