Re:  More on my problem with namespaces
Namespaces are not attributes in the XDM view of the world, so you can't create them using the xsl:attribute instruction. Use the xsl:namespace instruction instead. Alternatively, since you know statically what namespace you want output, you can just add the declaration xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" to the xsl:stylesheet element.

Or more simply, you could rewrite

<xsl:element name="calypso:value">
                       <xsl:attribute name="xsi:type">ns3:string</xsl:attribute>
                       <xsl:attribute
name="ns3">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</xsl:attribute>
                       <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                   </xsl:element>


as


<calypso:value xsi:type="ns3:string"
               xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</calypso:value>

Here is the output

   </bond>
</bonds>
===================

Here is the desired output

===================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bonds xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:calypso="http://www.calypso.com/xml">
   <bond>
      <calypso:secCode>
         <calypso:name>ISIN</calypso:name>
         <calypso:value xsi:type="ns3:string"
xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">123</calypso:value>
      </calypso:secCode>
   </bond>
   <bond>
      <calypso:secCode>
         <calypso:name>ISIN</calypso:name>
         <calypso:value xsi:type="ns3:string"
xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">456</calypso:value>
      </calypso:secCode>
   </bond>
   <bond>
      <calypso:secCode>
         <calypso:name>ISIN</calypso:name>
         <calypso:value xsi:type="ns3:string"
xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">789</calypso:value>
      </calypso:secCode>
   </bond>
</bonds>
===================


The difference is that I need


ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

output as

xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"


Any ideas? -- Nick
