Hi Tim, That is because you are using computed element constructors, creating list elements explicitly without namespaces (since you pass in the result of a call to local-name()). Also, you should not created xmlns attributes directly, but supply the element constructor with a xs:QName that contains the element name in the desired namespace.
I think you are looking for something like this: declare namespace xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";; declare namespace pre = "http://mystuff.com/pre";; declare variable $sd := "http://mystuff.com/schema";; declare function pre:passthru-nodeset($x as node()) as node()* { for $z in $x/(@* | node()) return pre:build-nodeset($z) }; declare function pre:build-nodeset($x as node()) as node()* { (:Revise link counts, clean up link, add link attributes to mixed-citation:) typeswitch ($x) case text() return $x case attribute () return $x case element () return element {QName($sd, local-name($x))} { if (not($x/parent::*)) then attribute xsi:schemaLocation { "/the-schema.xsd" } else (), pre:passthru-nodeset($x) } default return pre:passthru-nodeset($x) }; let $record := <record bla="boo"><list type="unknown"><item/></list></record> return pre:build-nodeset($record) Note: you might be interested in the functions available at http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/.
