Re: Global namespace prefixes

The description of your problem doesn't match your posted data.
the input you posted is not well formed, and your xslt has the fatal
syntax error <xsl:value-of>.</xsl:value-of>

I changed these to

  <Dataset xmlns="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#" base="http://base.document 
">
     <Attribute name="Conventions" >CF-1.0</Attribute>
     <Attribute name="logname" >olson</Attribute>
     <Attribute name="host" >bb0001en</Attribute>
   </Dataset>


  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#"
        >
     <xsl:output method='xml' version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'  
indent='yes'/>

     <xsl:template match="dap:Attribute" mode="body" >
         <xsl:element name="{@name}" namespace="{/dap:Dataset/@base}/ 
att#"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:element>
     </xsl:template>

   </xsl:stylesheet>


But then the result looked nothing like your posted result:

 saxon mns.xml mns.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     CF-1.0
     olson
     bb0001en
