Re: Namespace handling question

All -
thanks for reading. I'm trying to generate OAI records for a series of
XML files; while I have the bulk of the processing working, I'm stuck
on a namespaces issue. I understand how to include/add a namespace to
my output file, I'm curious if there's a way to keep all of the
namespace information in the XML header - primarily to keep things
tidy. I've found a short XSL from Michael Kay on the dpawson website
for cleaning up the XML after the initial transform and I've
incorporated that as a second step in the process. Is there a good way
to combine the two?

And a second, related question: there is an xsi:schemaLocation that I
apparently need to include in the XML header. Attempts at using
<xsl:import-schema>  and<xsl:namespace>  haven't yielded correct
results. Would someone be willing to recommend a method for this? (See
the final example for my goal output).

I'm using XLST 2.0 and the Saxon-HE 9.2.0.6 in the oXygen editor.

Again, many thanks. Please excuse me if this has been beaten to death
- web searches and the list archives have so far refused to answer
this.
Best,
Bridger

My original XML looks something like this:
<root>
	<row>
		<title>Mice</title>
		<author>Kat, Krazy</author>
		<subject>bricks</subject>
		<number>01101100011011110111011001100101</number>
	</row>	
</root>

And I'm processing with the following XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

     <xsl:template match="row">
         <xsl:for-each select=".">

             <xsl:result-document href="{concat(child::title,
child::number, '.xml')}">

                 <xsl:element name="oai_dc:dc">
