Anyone else have headaches with not being able to do @*[not(self::xyz:* or
self::abc:*)] ?
Anything more elegant than the following two solutions?

@*[not(namespace-uri()='&xyzURI;' or namespace-uri()='&barURI;')]
@*[not(generate-id()=generate-id(../@xyz:*) or
generate-id()=generate-id(../@abc:*))]
I'd love to be missing something.

This is an excerpt from pages 182/183 of my book:

  Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath
  (XSL Transformations and the XML Path Language)
  Ninth Edition - 2001-01-19 - ISBN 1-894049-06-3
  Copyright (c) 2001 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
  / 375 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates
  /           / and separate copy of all example files.
  /           / Free 137-page download preview excerpt.

These pages describe the way to do a test of the current node as being one of every node type of XPath ... the following are the attribute tests I suggest for the current node:

                <--specific namespaced-unqualified attribute-->
    <xsl:when test="count(.|../@version)=count(../@version)">
      <xsl:text>version attribute </xsl:text>
    </xsl:when>
                  <!--specific namespace-qualified attribute-->
    <xsl:when test="count(.|../@book:ref)=count(../@book:ref)">
      <xsl:text>book:ref attribute </xsl:text>
    </xsl:when>
                                           <!--any attribute-->
    <xsl:when test="count(.|../@*)=count(../@*)">
      <xsl:text>attribute </xsl:text>
    </xsl:when>

The use above of the XPath axes handles the prefix/URI issue.

I hope this helps.
