Actually, Roger, I see you edited my code and what you posted saying 
was mine won't work because you added a colon in order to prevent the 
colon being added on the command line (and you forgot to make the 
same change for the attribute template).  Your posted code won't work 
when you want to use the default namespace in the result:

If you don't want to supply the prefix on the command line, then 
you'll have to add more logic in the template to decide whether or 
not to add the colon.

For the archive, below is the code I actually posted.
