RE: adding a namespace declaration to result stylesheet?

Does the library element generate the xsl:import for the xslt
implementation? If so, this is very useful and something I added to my local
version of schematron in order to make use of msxsl extension functions.
When are you planning to make this available? The <library> element and the
<let> element are the two things that I added to my local version. 

Another thing that I added was a higher level aggregation of schematron
documents(multi-schematron). The multi-schematron document referenced the
individual schematron documents. The multi-schematron "runner" would run the
individual schematron against the input document and wrap the resulting
output using a single trivial wrapper element around the individual
conformance output documents. 

This worked a lot better in terms of authoring discrete validation modules
that could then be run either individually or as part of a larger validation
suite. IMO, the alternative of using external entities is too intrusive and
cumbersome. I don't use the inheritance features of Schematron and feel that
a  module system that supports easy composition is more important to
supporting scaleable validation.

Cordially from Corvallis,

anyone with better information on this?  If I recall the XML.COM? 
article, there is some
kind of workaround.

What do people think about the <ns> elements?  I personally think they 
are the
correct way to do things, but not really strongly.  In particular, I 
think default
(i.e., no prefix) Xpaths are a really dangerous idea. 

Also, I was introducing a <library> element into ISO Schematron which just
brings in the declarations of a referenced schema holus bolus, including
<ns> elements (duplicate prefix would be error).  With <ns> this is 
trivially
easy, but I suspect that it would be really complicated  using xmlns 
declarations.
Clarity welcome.
