Is there a way to define an xsl:function without explicitly giving it a namespace prefix? For example:

<xsl:function name="f">

</xsl:function>


Well http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#stylesheet-functions is rather clear, it says "The name attribute specifies the name of the function. The value of the name attribute is a QName, which is expanded as described in 5.1 Qualified Names.

...

[ERR XTSE0740] A stylesheet function must have a prefixed name, to remove any risk of a clash with a function in the default function namespace. It is a static error if the name has no prefix."
