No, I was trying to use XSLT 1.0. Is this possible?
It's easy to do it with a DOM traversal, but XSLT is supposed to be
Turing complete, isn't it.

Subject: [xsl] Creating namespace declarations solely for
QName attribute values
We are trying to replace namespaces consistently in the
namespace declarations of a document, thus preserving the
prefixes so the QName attribute values remain valid.
That is, given a source document like this:
<schema targetNamespace="urn:target" xmlns:t="urn:target"
xmlns:i="urn:imported">
<import namespace="urn:imported"/>
<element name="something" type="i:ImportedType"/> </schema>
The key feature of this document is that no element or
attribute in the document is in either of the explicitly
declared namespaces.
These namespaces are only referenced explicitly in attribute
values and implicitly in the QName-valued attribute 'type'.
The idea is to change urn:target to urn:target1 and urn:imported to
urn:imported1 (based on a map of these conversions read into
the XSLT using the document() function). None of the
namespaces involved in this conversion can be declared in the
stylesheet, but are determined from the map.
We know how to change the value of any attribute, the
namespace of any element or attribute using this map, but we
don't see yet how to change the association of a prefix with
a namespace, so that the prefix 'i' will be associated with
the namespace "urn:imported1" in the result document,
effectively changing the namespace implied by the value of
the 'type' attribute in the result document, *when there is
no element or attribute in the source document that has the
namespace corresponding to that prefix*.
We are trying to avoid having to know which are attributes
with QName values and having to transform their values to
somehow conform to prefixes used in the result doc.
Is there a way to do this in XSLT, given that matching on
namespace nodes is not possible, and we have been unable to
find a way to create namespace nodes in a template except by
naming an element or attribute using the prefix in question?
Would a solution involve creating an attribute with the given
prefix and namespace, to change the namespace nodes of the
containing element, while avoiding having the attribute
appearing in the result document?
