This cleans up the only issue I see on the stylesheets I've loaded thus far. Finding this page this morning really made my day. Thanks!

Thanks for this schema. It saves me a lot of typing when used in conjunction with nXML ;-)

Norm,

xsl:namespace's name attribute is a possibly empty AVT but typed as attribute name { xsd:NCName }, I think it should be avt.datatype

the mode attribute can take a white space separated list of modes but is typed as attribute mode { "#all" | "#default" | qname.datatype }? I think the last clause should be qnames__s__.datatype

My suggested change was not enough, does not validate
<xsl:template mode="#default a" match="/">
I now suggest
mode.datatype = list { "#all" | (xsd:NCName | "#default")+ }
(which is same as exclude.prefixes.datatype except with a + not a *) together with

template.element =
   element template {
      extension.atts,
      global.atts,
      (attribute match { pattern.datatype }
       & attribute mode { mode.datatype}?)?,
      attribute name { qname.datatype }?,
      attribute priority { number.datatype }?,
      attribute as { sequence.datatype }?,
      (param.element*, sequence.constructor)
   }

I now suggest
mode.datatype = list { "#all" | (xsd:NCName | "#default")+ }
(which is same as exclude.prefixes.datatype except with a + not a *)

of course the trouble with cutting and pasting things is that you tend to cut the wrong thing. (It would be so much better if i could kill and yank instead:-)

unlike exclude.prefixes.datatype modes can be QNames not just NCNames so xsd:NCName above needs to be xsd:QName or equivalently qname.datatype
