RE: Replacing DTD reference with xsd reference

Getting rid of the DTD reference is trivial. Adding the XSD reference is
trivial. The only non-trivial part is changing the element names to be
in a different namespace. For that you need a variant of the identity
template:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="local-name()" namespace="mynamespace.uri">
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

To add the schema reference just add another rule for the top-level
element:

<xsl:template match="/*">
  <xsl:element name="local-name()" namespace="mynamespace.uri"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <xsl:attribute name="xsi:schemaLocation">mynamespace.uri
trap.xsd</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
