Hello! So as part of an incumbent process, it turns out that the namespaces all have to be declared on the document element or the downstream processing fails. That's not correct, but I can't fix the process, so I wrote the following to make sure all the required namespaces could be declared on the document element. <xsl:function name="local:getNamespaces"> <xsl:param name="thisDoc" as="document-node()"/> <!-- group descendant elements by namespace URI because we don't completely trust the prefix to be unique --> <xsl:for-each-group select="$thisDoc/descendant-or-self::element()" group-by="namespace-uri-from-QName(resolve-QName(name(.), .))"> <xsl:variable name="QName" as="xs:QName" select="current-group()[1]/resolve-QName(name(.), .)"/> <xsl:variable name="prefix" as="xs:string?" select="prefix-from-QName($QName)"/> <xsl:variable name="namespace" as="xs:anyURI?" select="namespace-uri-from-QName($QName)"/> <!-- don't create a namespace for the default namespace; only if there's a defined prefix (empty string = false) --> <xsl:if test="$prefix"> <xsl:namespace name="{$prefix}" select="$namespace"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:function> It works, but I find myself wondering how I could declare the return type of the function. as="namespace()" does not work; namespace() isn't a node test. I realize this is a weird case that's a workaround for a bug elsewhere in the process, but wanting to be able to extract and manipulate a sequence of namespaces seems like a reasonable thing for a function to do.
