Re: Namespace name of source document

What you are seeing is the intended behaviour.  XPath does not apply the
default namespace to unprefixed names in patterns (see Section 2.1.2 in
the XPath WD).  It used to do this a few drafts ago, but this prevented
using the default namespace for literal result elements when the source
document didn't use namespaces.  The eventual solution will be to allow
the stylesheet to specify a default namespace to be used for unprefixed
element names in patterns.
