[xsl] Foreign namespaces in XSLT atttributes

[David <dlee@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm would like to find out if adding my own namespace'd attributes to 
xslt is valid.
It appears to work (in that I am not getting errors) but I cant find any 
reference that says its allowed.

Example:


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
xmlns:xmlsh="http://www.xmlsh.org/test";>
<xsl:template xmlsh:type="element" match="element()">
</xsl:template>


The attribute "xmlsh:type" seems to be properly ignored  using saxon 
(good).
Is this a defined behaviour or does it "just happen to work"?

Context: I'm experimenting with using XSLT as a "database" of xslt 
elements and do processing on the XSLT to extract specific elements.
Using my own attributes seems a clean way to do that.
