Ken Holman gave this solution to the "replace prefixes problem":

Actually, Roger, I see you edited my code and what you posted saying was mine won't work because you added a colon in order to prevent the colon being added on the command line (and you forgot to make the same change for the attribute template). Your posted code won't work when you want to use the default namespace in the result:

If you don't want to supply the prefix on the command line, then you'll have to add more logic in the template to decide whether or not to add the colon.

For the archive, below is the code I actually posted.
