Did you mean exclude-result-prefixes?

exclude-result-prefixes is working, except for variables/elements that
are being evaluated with xxx:nod-set().  I have a template rule which
sorts data, and creates a number attribute from a date, the result
might look something like this:

<fn:members>
  <fn:member>
      <field name="first_name">Suzie</field>
      <field name="dob" num_dtm="19990604"/>1999-06-04</field>
  </fn:member>
  <fn:member>
      <field name="first_name">Bob</field>
      <field name="dob" num_dtm="20010304"/>2001-03-04</field>
  </fn:member>
</fn:members>

Contained in the variable "sorted_members".  The xml result of this is
not as "pretty" as I'd like it, all though better for sure; it removed
my other namespaces, but the xmlns definition for "fn" lingers.

Any ideas on that?
