Why? I'd be guessing. I leave that to others to answer ;)

But to get rid of them is easy. Just use the 'exclude-result-prefixes' 
int he xsl:stylesheet declaration and give it a space-separated list of 
prefixes you don't want. However, when you use a namespace that is 
required in your output, this declaration won't stop it from appearing, 
because otherwise the result document would not be what you intend it to be.

Note that the appearance of extra namespaces don't change the XML nor 
the way it will be handled by applications for further processing.
