Not with the angle brackets in the URI, surely?

When you copy a literal result element to the result tree, all its namespace
nodes are copied too, unless you ask for them not to be. This is what's in
the spec, if you want to know why it's in the spec, don't ask me!

I can't answer for what's currently in xt, but in standard XSLT, you can
suppress a namespace from
the output by specifying exclude-result-prefixes="enabler" on the
xsl:stylesheet element, or by designating it as an extension namespace using
extension-element-prefixes.

SAXON supports both these features :-)
