This example works with Saxon, MSXML, JD, .Net xsltTransform (Framework
1.1).

It also works with Xalan C 1.5 (but with XalanJ 2.1.4 the namespace node is
not copied):


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:extc="http://exslt.org/common"
 exclude-result-prefixes="extc"
 >
  <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="library">
    <xsl:variable name="dummy">
      <xsl:element name="e" namespace="{@prefix}"/>
    </xsl:variable>

    <extc:xxx>
      <xsl:copy-of
        select="extc:node-set($dummy)/*/namespace::*[. =
current()/@prefix]"/>
    </extc:xxx>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When the above transformation is applied against this source.xml:

<library prefix="test">
     <element name="dosome"/>
</library>

the result is:

<extc:xxx xmlns:extc="http://exslt.org/common" xmlns="test"/>
