Re: [xsl] Copy idiom and overriding namespaces: trying to be smart, finding approaches

[Abel Braaksma Online <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps a better way to ask is this: how to create a template that 
matches some or any namespace, and only a namespace, and then change the 
namespace to something you like. For instance, to rename a namespace, 
this is not allowed, but looks very nice in my eyes ;)

   <xsl:template match="namespace::">
       <xsl:namespace name="http://newnamespace"; />
   </xsl:template>

But it is not possible to make a template for the namespace axis nodes. 
This is probably done before, but is it really as hard as in my previous 
posts?

Thanks,
