  Interesting!  I didn't think about such cases.  Actually,
I thought there were maybe a "as if" clause (implementations
are not required to implement namespace nodes, but then have
to make as if they were implemented).

  But if we think about their own existence in the DM, not
just to resolve namespace prefixes, it becomes hard to make
"as if" without actually implement them, IMHO.

  So you are confirming namespace nodes are required in a
conformant XSLT 2.0 implementation?

  Thanks,
