Re: xmlns created literally

It's not an error (unless the cml parser chooses to check that a
namespace uri matches the uri grammar) it just doesn't mean what you
want it to meant, the namespace is resolved by the parser before xslt
starts so

 <product xmlns="{$x}">s

is the element with local name product and namespace uri {$x}.
namespace resplution happens before the variable $x is defined so {$x}
is not an attribute value template refereing to a variable, it's just a
literal string.
