I must confess, I hardly ever use the namespace axis, and this is a fine
example of its use!

That said, do note that the namespace axis was deprecated as of XPath
2.0, so for the sake of completeness, here is a version without the
namespace axis, using the functions I described in that other mail in
this thread:

<xsl:value-of select="
    in-scope-prefixes(.)[
        current()/@targetNamespace =
        namespace-uri-for-prefix(., current())]"/>

but clearly not as concise as David's version.
