Ah yes, but that doesn't tell me where to fetch the style sheet to process the name space "myns."

I was thinking more that some uri would be specified in the style sheet header along with the namespace specification - so something along the lines of the following:

<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:myns="..."
    version="2.0">

<namespace
	methods:myns="..."/>

</xsl:stylesheet>


This is just a way of relating and limiting included style sheets to namespaces.

This, of course, is a problem that language designers should consider.


I assume that namespaces, from my experience with xsd more than xsl,
are things that are meant to be observed by translators. I now begin
to wonder how I specify operations on elements in a particular name
space but from what Michael has said it seems they are simply
"syntactic sugar" to enable unique identification (avoid naming
conflicts) in single passes. Is there a way to specify that a style
sheet processes only the elements of a particular name space? I don't
think there is, but it sounds like something I could use for code
modularity.
