[xsl] XPath 1.0 challenge: select all XML Schema element declarations with type string

2015-07-19 14:58:20
Hi Folks,

The following XPath expression returns all XML Schema element declarations with 
@type equal to xs:string:

        //xs:element[@type = 'xs:string']

However, that XPath assumes the schema file is written with a namespace prefix, 
like this:

        <xs:element name="Test" type="xs:string" />

But the schema file could have been written like this:

        <element name="Test" type="string" />

The above XPath expression would fail to return that element declaration.

Is there a way -- in XPath 1.0 -- to write an XPath expression which returns 
all element declarations of type string?
