If you transform something with XSLT 2.0, you can set  
exclude-result-prefixes="#all" on the main xsl:stylesheet or 
xsl:transform element, which will remove all namespace declarations that 
are unused.

It doesn't matter whether your prefixes change. If your namespace 
changes, your whole document (i.e, the identity of your document and 
nodes) changes and you'll have to pull other tricks. But different 
namespaces for the same content are unlikely, so I presume you meant 
prefixes, right?
