[xsl] Namespaces: part II

[Florent Georges <darkman_spam@xxxxxxxx>]

  Hi

  I have a new question about XSLT and namespaces.  I use a
custom document type to generate XSLT scripts.  This source
document contains XPath expressions that are copied in the
resulting script, for example:

    <doc>
      ...
      <text select="an/xpath/expression"/>
      ...
    </doc>

may result in something like:

    <xsl:transform ...>
      ...
      <xsl:value-of select="an/xpath/expression"/>
      ...
    </xsl:transform>

  But the source document against wich the generated script
will be applied has element in multiple namespaces.  So it
is like this:

    <doc xmlns:ns1="ns/1" xmlns:ns2="ns/2" xmlns:ns3="ns/3">
      ...
      <text select="ns1:an/ns2:xpath/ns3:expression"/>
      ...
    </doc>

and:

    <xsl:transform xmlns:ns1="ns/1" xmlns:ns2="ns/2"
                   xmlns:ns3="ns/3" ...>
      ...
      <xsl:value-of select="ns1:an/ns2:xpath/ns3:expression"/>
      ...
    </xsl:transform>

  How can I ensure that the same prefixes will be bound to
the same namespace URI in the generated XSLT ?

  I guess that with something like this:

    <doc>
      <ns prefix="ns1" uri="ns/1"/>
      <ns prefix="ns2" uri="ns/2"/>
      <ns prefix="ns3" uri="ns/3"/>
      ...
      <text select="ns1:an/ns2:xpath/ns3:expression"/>
      ...
    </doc>

I can add the right bindings to the xsl:transform.  But I
wonder if it is possible to keep the usual namespace rules
in the source document (using xmlns declarations), and to
keep scope-correctness.  By this last point, I mean for
example:

  <doc>
    ...
    <text select="1 + 1"/>
    <text select="ns:element" xmlns:ns="ns/uri"/>
    ...
  </doc>

and:

    <xsl:transform ...>
      ...
      <xsl:value-of select="1 + 1"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="ns:element" xmlns:ns="ns/uri"/>
      ...
    </xsl:transform>

  Thanks for your help.  Regards,
