The namespace declaration above has no effect ... namespace declarations in the stylesheet will only add namespace nodes to literal result elements.

Above you are creating an attribute node out of thin air, but you aren't indicating in what namespace the "xsi:" prefix is in.


I would have expected the processor to have given you an error on this.

You should have added this to the <xsl:attribute> instruction:

namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

This tells the processor what you want the prefix of the attribute in the result tree to be bound to.

I hope this helps.
