Doh!!! You're absolutely correct. My 18 months away from using default namespaces has obviously had an effect. Here's what I meant to say :-) XML Schema's QName simple type uses the element rule [1]. XPath node tests use the attribute rule [2]. XML Query node tests use the element rule [3]. When assigning names to constructs in XSLT (named templates, modes, etc.), XSLT uses the attribute rule [4]. The same rule is used for references to those constructs. When using QName in the xsl:element/@name attribute, XSLT uses the element rules [5]. When using QName in the xsl:attribute/@name attribute, XSLT uses the element rules [6].
