Re: Global namespace prefixes (Corrected Examples)

That forces the att: declaration at the top, but continues to use the
unprefixed forms in element names. If you put the att: back in the
xsl:element like so:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
       xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
       xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
       xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common"
       xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#"
       xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
       exclude-result-prefixes="xalan exslt"
       >
    <xsl:output method='xml' version='1.0'
		encoding='UTF-8'  
		indent='yes'/>

     <xsl:variable name="dummy">
         <xsl:element name="att:dummy" namespace="{/dap:Dataset/@base}/att#"/>
     </xsl:variable>


    <xsl:template match="dap:Dataset" >
         <rdf:RDF>
             <xsl:copy-of select="exslt:node-set($dummy)/*/namespace::att"/>
             <xsl:apply-templates />
         </rdf:RDF>

    </xsl:template>

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


</xsl:stylesheet>

then saxon6 gives

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" 
	 xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#" 
	 xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#">
    
   <att:Conventions>CF-1.0</att:Conventions>
    
   <att:logname>olson</att:logname>
    
   <att:host>bb0001en</att:host>

</rdf:RDF>
