RE: [xsl] XMLNS attribute in the XML source file

When you refer in your stylesheet to an element such as
{http:\\nowhere\schema\test}test (using the notation {uri}local-name)
then you must use a prefixed QName such as nowhere:test, where nowhere
is a namespace prefix bound to the URI http:\\nowhere\schema\test.

Incidentally, http:\\nowhere\schema\test is not a valid URI, but
namespace names in practice don't have to be valid URIs. URIs always use
forwards slashes.
