How can I get barcode markup like below working in an XSLT stylesheet

I can't comment on whether or not FOP supports barcodes, but I can address the XSLT parts of your question.

I guess I need to declare some Saxon namespace on the stylesheet root
element, instead of the one below or what?

I can't think of why you would need any other namespace in your document.

And maybe I need to install something first?

Not for XSLT, but likely yes for the XSL-FO processor.

<fo:instream-foreign-object>

 <barcode:barcode xmlns:barcode="http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns"
msg="{$taskcard}">

et cetera...

 </barcode:barcode>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>

That instance you show satisfies XSL-FO's constraints on <instream-foreign-object> containing only a single child that is not in the XSL-FO namespace. You can produce that with any XSLT processor.

So, if that apex element in that namespace is what your XSL-FO add-on requires, then I can think of nothing else to add from an XSLT perspective. The descendants will all be in the required namespace.

Now if you plan to use other template rules, and they produce descendent barcode elements, then you would be better to place the namespace declaration at the document element of your stylesheet in order to have influence over all of your template rules.

I hope this helps.
