RE: Namespaces in XMLSpy

The general rule with [xsl:]xxxx attributes is: use the xsl: prefix on the
attribute if it's not present on the element. So if the attribute is on the
xsl:stylesheet element, it should omit the prefix.

If it still doesn't work, it may because XML Spy hasn't yet implemented this
feature - I don't know. I would have expected that if the feature isn't
implemented, they would tell you.
