RE: [xsl] Dynamically setting namespace prefix

["Hofman, Peter" <peter.hofman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanx.

Wow, learned something new again today :-)

This will cleanup my style-sheet tremendously.

The name attribute of xsl:namespace (like other similar instructions,
e.g.
xsl:element and xsl:attribute) is an AVT, so you can do <xsl:namespace
name="{$var}">...</xsl:namespace>
