xsl:element with QName containing variable reference produces error

           Summary: xsl:element with QName containing variable reference
                    produces error
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan-Xsltc
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mwright_us@yahoo.com


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xmlns:test="ThisIsATest" exclude-result-prefixes="test">
	<xsl:template match="*">
		<xsl:variable name="test:_foo" select="'FooName'"/>
		<xsl:variable name="test:_bar" select="'BarName'"/>
		<xsl:element name="{$test:_foo}">
			<xsl:attribute 
name="{$test:_bar}">BarValue</xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:text>FooValue</xsl:text>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This stylesheet works with XALAN and Oracle's XSLT translator but the following 
is produced from the XSLTC compiler:

java org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile -o Test
Compiler warning(s): 
  file:/w:/work/xsl/Test.xsl: line 6: Namespace prefix '{$test' is undeclared.

The same kind of reference in xsl:attribute does not cause the same error (?)
