XSLT doesn't regard internationalization and localization as being different
from any other kind of transformation, with one very minor exception, the
lang() function.

If you have multiple variants of a schema, because you feel a need to allow
localized spellings of the element and attribute names, then it's fairly
simple to write a stylesheet that normalizes these to a single vocabulary.
