Is it? The ability to use XSLT stylesheeets to generate XSLT stylesheets is certainly helpful, but it is not dependent on the use of xsl:namespace-alias. The xsl:namepace-alias construct does make generation of XSLT as output more convenient for those who prefer to write their XSLT with literal result elements. But 'makes more convenient' is not the same as 'enables'. -- C. M.
