RE: [xsl] XML schema general convert with XSLT (namespaces..)

["Michael Kay" <mhkay at iclway dot co dot uk>]

There aren't really any facilities in XSLT 1.0/XPath 1.0 for manipulating
QNames and namespace prefixes held in attributes.

I think if you're going to do this, it probably makes sense to develop a set
of extension functions that provide the required capability, and the
implementation of these is probably going to be processor-dependent.
