Having not seen P or S, one possibility would be if P.xml is

  <xpath xmlns:foo="http://xorcist.com/" xmlns:bar="http://assemblage23.com/">foo:root/bar:kid</xpath>

And in you stylesheet do

  <xsl:for-each select="document('P.xml')/xpath">
    <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*" />
    <xsl:attribute name="select">
      <xsl:value-of select="."
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:for-each>

It's Wednesday, so that might not make any sense,
