except in the output, that prefixes elements with
"h:", which I do *not* want.

Anyway, what I'm not sure of is whether the XSLT spec
guarantees that

<xsl:element name="NCName"> <!-- No prefix in NCName
-->
 <!-- Content of NCName . . . -->
</xsl:element>

will result in an element with the unprefixed name
NCName in the default namespace, or if it's just that
XSLT processors happen to serialize that as "<NCName>
. . . </NCName>".
