functx:change-element-names-deep
Changes the names of elements in an XML fragment
Description
The functx:change-element-names-deep function changes the names of elements that are in $nodes or among their descendants, based on a list of $oldNames to change from, and a list of $newNames to change to. They are positionally related, e.g. the first name in $oldNames is converted to the first name in $newNames. Names that do not appear in the $oldNames list are unchanged.
Each name must be specified as an xs:QName value. QNames can be constructed with calls to the xs:QName type constructor or the fn:QName function, as shown in the examples.
