remove result prefixes xs means remove the namespace whose prefix is ns, 
and that is the same namespace as has the prefix ns3.

having the namespace here makes no difference as it is already in scope.

It should not be missing, it should be on the document element.

If you mean that you want it not on the document element but just want 
it on this calypso:value, probably the easiest is to just remove the
 xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";  and 
xmlns:xs"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
from xsl:stylesheet, unless you need it for some other reason.
