Forgive me for mistyping the last template rule where I inadvertently specified an element named "processing-instruction" instead of the node ... it should have been:

<xsl:template match="@* | comment() | processing-instruction()">
  <xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>

Note that text nodes are copied by the built-in template rules.

I hope this helps.

given an XML Schema, I should split this schema into two parts,

Basically, I've succeeded to do this, using a couple of XSLT
transformations. But...

The original schema contains <xs:schema ... xmlns="a.b"
targetNamespace="a.b" ...>. I would like to modify this for one of the
results of the filtering, to become, e.g., xmlns="a.b.c"
targetNamespace="a.b.c". (The ultimate goal is to separate the
definitions made by the splt schemas into two different namespaces.)

Fine.


Exploring the set of attributes in xs:schema (by <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="true()"> <xsl:value-of
select="concat(namespace-uri(),local-name())"/>...) has shown me that
the namespace definitions (xmlns="...") are not passed to template
processing.

False.


Namespace definitions are not passed to template processing as attribute nodes, but they are passed to template processing as namespace nodes.

Does this mean that what I want to be done cannot be achieved at all,
using XSLT techniques?

No, what you want can be done. I hope the example below helps.
