that's not even well formed:

did you really get <menu> ending </myMenu:menu>

I suspect not.

not really:-) If you want to generate elements in some namespace in the
result, you just need to specify them in the stylesheet. In order to
specify them in the stylesheet you need to declare the namespace
there. If you use CDATA as you showed then you are not outputting a tree
but just a single stream of text with the linear syntax of an xml file.
XSLT is not particularly good at manipulating large chunks of text it;
isn't designed for that, it's designed for outputting XML.
