At the point where you generate the top-level element, do
<output>
<xsl:copy-of select="/order/namespace::*"/>

For reasons which I won't bore you with, we have an input XML
format of the style:
customer1.xml:
<order xmlns:pt="urn:ex">
<foo name="pt:zip"> apple </foo>
<foo name="pt:zap"> orange </foo>
</order>
customer2.xml:
<order xmlns:go="urn:ex">
<foo name="go:zip"> pear </foo>
<foo name="go:zap"> banana </foo>
</order>
We want a single XSLT which will handle these without a
priori knowledge of the QNames or namespace *inside* the
@name attribute. We need to transform these into:
customer1-out-desired.xml:
<output xmlns:pt="urn:ex">
<pt:zip> apple </pt:zip>
<pt:zap> orange </pt:zap>
</output>
customer2-out-desired.xml:
<output xmlns:go="urn:ex">
<go:zip> pear </go:zip>
<go:zap> banana </go:zap>
</output>
After a long struggle, I've managed some hacky XSLT which
manages the namespace mapping from strings and NS
declarations to prefixed QName elements, however I end up
getting the xmlns:pt="urn:ex" element on
*every* leaf element (e.g. <go:zip xmlns:go="urn:ex">),
rather than just once on the document element as I would like it:
customer1-out-actual.xml:
<output>
<pt:zip xmlns:pt="urn:ex"> apple </pt:zip>
<pt:zap xmlns:pt="urn:ex"> orange </pt:zap> </output>
customer2-out-actual.xml:
<output>
<go:zip xmlns:go="urn:ex"> pear </go:zip>
<go:zap xmlns:go="urn:ex"> banana </go:zap> </output>
Does anyone know of any tricks to avoid this situation?
Cheers,
Ian
PS - The relevant XSLT snippet I've written is:
<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:element name="{substring-after(@name,':')}"
namespace="{namespace-uri-for-prefix(substring-before(@name,':'),.)}">
<xsl:value-of select=".">
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
