[xsl] Generating schema target namespaces from XSLT

[Danny Vint <dvint@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an XML format that we use to define our standard that is processed 
with XSLT to generate a DTD or Schema based upon that format. Everything 
has been ok until we added the target namespace to the schema. I can 
parameterize the target attributes value, but I haven't found a way to 
general the corresponding xmlns attribute to go with it without hardcoding 
the value. Does anyone have a workaround?

Here is the relavent postion of the stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
      xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
      xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";
      xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";
      extension-element-prefixes="saxon"
      xmlns="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.1.1/xml/";
      >

<xsl:param name="target" 
select="'http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.1.1/xml/'"/>


<xsl:template match="/">
   <!-- START Schema Output -->

 <xsd:schema>
      <xsl:attribute name="elementFormDefault">unqualified</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="attributeFormDefault">unqualified</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="targetNamespace"><xsl:value-of 
select="$target"/></xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="version"><xsl:value-of 
select="ACORD-XML-DOC/@version"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This produces the following Schema:

<xsd:schema
	xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
	xmlns="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.1.1/xml/";
	elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
	targetNamespace="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.2.0/xml/";
	version="1.2.0"
>

I can get the targetNamespace attribute set, but becasue the namespace has 
to be identified on the <stylesheet> attribute I can't use a parameter 
there to set this value to be the same - thus I have to hard code it.
