Thanks.

So it appears that namespace nodes are the only non first class citizens
among the seven node types of the XPath 1.0 data model [1].

All node types including namespace nodes can be passed to generate-id()
function -- would have been nice to be able to get back to all node types
by
  <xsl:key name="nodes-by-genid"
           match="/ | node() | @* | namespace::*"
           use="generate-id()" />

But that is not possible by the spec, so I will have to search for a
workaround for namespace nodes for "pointers for XSLT 1.0", see question
in [2].

   There is no pattern that can match a namespace node

I hope this helps.
