RE: Creating namespace nodes

I'm sorry, I am lost ;-)
Let's take an example XML and XSLT:

XML:
<example>
	<types xmlns:aa="www.super.org/aa" xmlns:bb="www.super.org/bb">
		<type name="aa:foo"/>
		<type name="bb:foo"/>
	</types>

	<xx xmlns:foo="www.super.org/bb" type="foo:bar"/>
<example>

XSLT:
<xsl:templare match="xx">
	<!-- this will NOT select what I really mean - the
//type[@name="bb:foo"] element -->
	<xsl:copy-of select="//type[@name=current()/@type]"/>
</xsl:templare">

How can I select in the copy-of the right type, if the value in the
argument is a qname?

yes in xslt attribute values are just strings so you need to use
substring, although you have access to all in scope namespace so you can
do this in a namespace correct fasion, you don't ever need to assume any
fixed prefixes.

XSLT2 with a schema aware processor would know that these attributes
were types as qnames so then you woul dbe able to use local-name() and
similar functions rather than string handling functions to access the
local name and namespace URI.
