is a pretty strong hint that you want the unprefixed form output, and in 
xslt 2 that would be the specified behaviour, but xslt 1 gives a system 
licence to ignore all prefixes on input and to use any prefixes on 
output on the grounds that a pure xml namespace parser might just report 
the namespaces in scope and not report the prefixes used however not 
reporting prefixes would mean that using namespaces in context (such as 
XSD types and xpath expressions would be unusable)
So it's pretty unhelpful behaviour but I don't think that technically 
it's a bug if the tree you get back when you parse that output only 
differs in namespace prefixes used.
