Re: [xsl] Controlling attributes and xsi:type

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The xsi:type attribute should be in namespace 
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance, not in namespace 
http://www.calypso.com/xml. Just change the namespace in the 
xsl:attribute instruction.

In fact you don't need xsl:element and xsl:attribute here. You can just 
write:

<calypso:cashflow
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
   xsi:type="calypso:CashflowSimple">
...
</calypso:cashflow>
