There is no direct mechanism unless you write XPath expressions and 
match patterns in the form e.g.

   <xsl:template match="*[local-name() = 'local-element-name' and 
namespace-uri() = $custom-namespace]">

and keep a global parameter e.g.

   <xsl:param name="$custom-namespace" 
select="'http://tempuri.org/ArchiveDataSet.xsd'"/>

Such a global parameter can be set programmatically before running a 
transformation, see 
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xsl.xsltargumentlist.addparam.aspx> 
for .NET.

Besides that a second approach is to treat the stylesheet as an XML 
document and use the DOM or even XSLT to manipulate the stylesheet 
before using it.
