Subject: Foreign namespaces in XSLT atttributes
From: David <dlee@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm would like to find out if adding my own namespace'd attributes to xslt is valid. It appears to work (in that I am not getting errors) but I cant find any reference that says its allowed.

Example:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xmlsh="http://www.xmlsh.org/test"> <xsl:template xmlsh:type="element" match="element()"> </xsl:template>

The attribute "xmlsh:type" seems to be properly ignored using saxon (good). Is this a defined behaviour or does it "just happen to work"?

Context: I'm experimenting with using XSLT as a "database" of xslt elements and do processing on the XSLT to extract specific elements. Using my own attributes seems a clean way to do that.
