Thanks for all of the replies to my question. I think that this message from Mike Kay hits the crux of the problem. I *was* considering the fact that generating an element from the desired namespace would cause XSLT to add the necessary namespace declaration. But, if I read the XML Schema spec correctly, the target namespace never appears on an element or attribute, rather it appears as a QName in an attribute *value*. e.g. <element name="Person" type="bib:PersonType/> <complexType name="PersonType"> etc. At least, the examples in the XML Schema Primer look like this one, and the spec defines the 'type' attribute as having a QName value. I'm not clear on how I could generate an unwanted element or attribute from the target namespace that would be valid within the XML Schema.
