Ah, well the namespace issue becomes more complex when you need to have
result elements that need to be in the current XSLT namespace. The current
XSLT PR has some new functionality for namespace aliasing that may solve
your problem. I haven't experimented with it, personally, but it seems
pretty straightforward. http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#literal-result-element is
the relevant section (starting around the paragraph that begins "A namespace
URI in the stylesheet tree...").
