Well, 1) you could have a third stylesheet that does that actual work, generates a document in XHTML namespace. Then you reprocess the results with a stylesheet for XHTML that's just an identity transformation that adds a doctype, or with a stylesheet for HTML that's an identity transformation that copies all elements into null-namespace and adds a doctype. Or 2) your stylesheet that does all the work generates all elements using <xsl:element name="whatever" namespace="{$target-NS}"> and in the stylesheet for HTML or XHTML where you import the workhorse stylesheet you define $target-NS as either "" or "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", respectively. There are probably other and better strategies you could use described in XSLT books; don't remember if Jeni wrote about a situation like this.
