There's no need to declare the XSL-FO namespace unless you're going to
use it, and doing so means that the result will include an XSL-FO
namespace declaration, which you usually don't want (unless you're
generating XSL-FO).

Ouch! You should never add an XML declaration by hand using
disable-output-escaping. The XSLT processor will add an XML
declaration for you if you're generating XML (as here), so if you add
one by hand you'll end up with a non-well-formed document.
