Re: [xsl] Generating schema target namespaces from XSLT

[Dan Vint <dvint@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was just now able to give this a try, but unfortunately it doesn't work. 
I wasn't exactly sure of all the changes that might have been needed so I 
tried the following for the first solution offered:

1) Created variable and copy-of as shown, no other changes
2) Same as above but removed default namespace declaration from stylesheet 
element
3) moved copy-of to location after attributes
4) moved copy-of before schema element

Do you have any other suggestions? I didn't try the other solution because 
I want to pass the namespace value into the stylesheet and not have to edit 
my stylesheet as this value changes.

This did at least confirm my suspicion that XSLT is missing a good 
mechanism to manage namespace generation.
