RE: How is this part of the XSLT specification to be interpreted?

Ah!  That makes sense.

Since this is a part of a "how can we document our style sheets internally" project, an attribute is still a bit limited since it is a scalar instead of a node set.

Is there a similar way to have non-XSLT elements inside an XSLT-element (like a template) without having it copied verbosely to the output.  I basically just want the element and everything therein ignored.

Basically, so 

<xsl:template match="TOC">
  <doc:test>Hallo</doc:test>
  <rowset>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </rowset>
</xsl:template>

is treated identically to 

<xsl:template match="TOC">
  <rowset>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </rowset>
</xsl:template>

Currently the following line is output (buh is the namespace URI I used)

<doc:test xmlns:doc="buh">Hallo</doc:test>

>From my glancing at the other parts of the spec, it appears that I must make the doc:* namespace "active" in order to get the behaviour I desire, which in Saxon means I must create a Java class for the purpose, which is rather inconvenient since it looses portability.

My goal is documentation on a higher level than <!-- comment --> and JavaDoc.  Can it be done as a valid XSLT-file?
