It would be nice if XSLT editors provided configuration options so you could
say which namespaces you want automatically inserted, and which of them
should be listed in exclude-result-prefixes.

I see a lot of stylesheets containing quite unnecessary declarations of
namespaces like XSL-FO. I assume these are usually caused by tools
possessing half-an-ounce of intelligence, rather than by users blindly
copying the heading of the last stylesheet they wrote.
