Kai, as several people already suggested, it is not (easily) possible to 
make a non-wellformed XML+namespaces document. In early XML days (before 
the namespaces were added), the colon was allowed as part of the name, 
making names like "this::was:::a:valid:::name" possible (though 
unlikely). XSLT however *must* produce namespace well-formed XML, which 
gives a special meaning on the colon.

But perhaps we didn't understand your question fully. You say "in each 
element", do you mean that you want the declaration to move up to the 
root element and disappear on each and every element? That's easily done 
by removing the "exclude-result-prefixes" attribute of the 
xsl:stylesheet instruction.
