Description
The functx:change-element-ns-deep function changes the namespace of the XML elements in $nodes to $newns. Unlike the functx:change-element-ns function, it also changes the namespace of all their descendant elements.
Note: this function is intended to change the way elements appear in the results of a query, not to update them in an XML database. To update your XML database, you should use the implementation-specific update functions of your processor.
