Re:  Algorithm akin to namespace fixup for xslt?
Namespaces are meant to keep sets of identifiers from clashing and attach
some specific semantics to the names they are attached to. Any messing will
destroy the integrity of an XML document.

You may have to reformulate your problen to make clear what kind of
algorithm you really need, and this list may not be the best place to
inquire for it.
