Re:  How to force prefixes instead of expanded qnames?
Hi,

Although I don't quite understand this answer fully it sounds
encouraging. It seems not all is lost.

I didn't want to bother you with boring details. Maybe this is a
significant extract of the code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:mpx="http://www.mpx.org/mpx">
...
    <xsl:template match="/">
      <Repository
xmlns="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/static-repository"
        xmlns:oai="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/static-reposi
tory
       http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/static-repository.xsd">
...
<oai:metadata>
  <xsl:element name="mpx:{name()}">
    <xsl:namespace name="mpx" select="'http://www.mpx.org/mpx'"/>
    <xsl:namespace name="xsi"
      select="'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="xsi:schemaLocation"
      select="'http://www.mpx.org/mpx
      file:/c:/cygwin/home/Mengel/usr/levelup/lib/mpx-lvl2.v2.xsd'"/>
...
    <xsl:copy-of select="mpx:*"/>
  </xsl:element>
</oai:metadata>
...

I tried various variants on the select part of copy-of, but it seems
not to change the output.

thanks!
Maurice
