RE: [xsl] schema reference in output

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the XPath data model, namespaces and attributes are completely different
animals, despite the fact that they use similar syntax in lexical XML. So
you can't create a namespace using the xsl:attribute instruction. You can do
it using the xsl:namespace instruction - but in this case you don't need to.
If you create an attribute whose name is in the xsi namespace then the xsi
namespace node will be created automatically.
