There are differences indeed, in the handling of namespaces between these two examples. I think with XSLT 3 at least, you can turn literal element constructors into element constructors (the xsl:element form), with careful use of exclude-result-prefixes. But not the other way round - consider <xsl:element name="{$name}"> for example. You can't write <{$name}> to make an element, as that's not well-formed XML syntax. So likely you're stuck handling all of XSLT. But, why are you processing XSLT with XSLT in this way? Sounds interesting, tell us more! :) liam -- Liam Quin,B https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
