Description

xte_expand_xmlns walks an XML parse tree and rewrites all namespace-prefixed element and attribute names into their fully expanded {namespace-uri}local-name form. The result has every reference resolved against the in-scope xmlns: declarations of the tree, so subsequent processing does not need to track prefix bindings.

xmlnss_get returns the namespace bindings currently in scope at the root of entity, as a flat XML fragment whose attributes give prefix-to-URI mappings. Useful for inspecting or serializing the namespace context of an entity outside of the XML tree itself.

xmlnss_xpath_pre prepares entity for XPath evaluation by emitting the namespace declarations that an XPath expression would otherwise have to supply via declare namespace prologues. Equivalent to building an XPath namespace prefix table from the entity's current scope.
