Re: [xsl] How to take a QName value and make it an attribute?

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It depends rather whether the transformation is schema-aware.

If it's a schema-aware transformation, and <fault> is annotated as an 
xs:QName, you want:

    <xsl:template match="fault">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:variable name="q" as="xs:QName" select="." />
            <xsl:attribute name="{local-name-from-QName(q)}" namespace="namespace-uri-from-QName(q)">blah</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

If it's not schema-aware, then you want:

    <xsl:template match="fault">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:variable name="q" as="xs:QName" select="resolve-QName(., .)" />
            <xsl:attribute name="{local-name-from-QName(q)}" namespace="namespace-uri-from-QName(q)">blah</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
