Why? What about the note in 7.6.2, which seems to forbid
this in two different ways? Perhaps in this context of aliased
named spaces <xsl:template ...> is not really a named XSLT
object, and the value of its match attribute isn't really an
expression or pattern.
that note doesn't apply in your case. Your XSL elements are bound to the
prefix x: If xsl: is not bound to the XSL namespace (which it can't be if
your example runs at all) then xsl:template has nothing to do with XSL
it is just some random literal result element that will be copied to the
output. Note the namespace-alias has no effect on the interpretation of
the elements in the stylesheet, it just causes a last minute namespace
switch as the result tree is exposed.
In particular the match attribute is an attribute of a literal result
element and thus an AVT, so you can use {}. (Some people commented
that you couldn't use {} with xsl:template match= but you didn't make
sufficiently clear (or they didn't notice:-) that in your sheet xsl:
elements were not XSL.)
