Subject: Generating schema target namespaces from XSLT

I have an XML format that we use to define our standard that is processed with XSLT to generate a DTD or Schema based upon that format. Everything has been ok until we added the target namespace to the schema. I can parameterize the target attributes value, but I haven't found a way to general the corresponding xmlns attribute to go with it without hardcoding the value. Does anyone have a workaround?

Here is the relavent postion of the stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
      xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"
      extension-element-prefixes="saxon"
      xmlns="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.1.1/xml/"
      >

<xsl:param name="target" select="'http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.1.1/xml/'"/>


<xsl:template match="/">
   <!-- START Schema Output -->

<xsd:schema> <xsl:attribute name="elementFormDefault">unqualified</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="attributeFormDefault">unqualified</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="targetNamespace"><xsl:value-of select="$target"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="version"><xsl:value-of select="ACORD-XML-DOC/@version"/></xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

This produces the following Schema:

<xsd:schema
	xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
	xmlns="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.1.1/xml/"
	elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
	targetNamespace="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.2.0/xml/"
	version="1.2.0"
>

I can get the targetNamespace attribute set, but becasue the namespace has to be identified on the <stylesheet> attribute I can't use a parameter there to set this value to be the same - thus I have to hard code it.
