Question

How do I specify a match for an element whose type attribute is in xsd: namespace? For example:

<enitityID maxOccurs="0" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>

I tried

<xsl:template match="*[namespace-uri(@type)= 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema']">
...
</xsl:template>  

but it doesn’t seem to work. Thanks.

The xsd: in that attribute value isn’t a namespace declaration; it’s just part of the value of the attribute; you just need @type = 'xsd:string' to match it.

EDIT: As per comments, to match anything beginning xsd:, you can just use substring-before(@type,':') = 'xsd' or substring(@type,1,4) = 'xsd:'
