No, you do not have to do that, and it is bad practice if there are any
other althernative (search in the FAQs or the list archives for more on
this).

What you want to to is to add the namespace as you copy each of the
imported elements.  You can do this by modifying the standard identity
template so that you get a chance to modify each element as it gets
processed -

<xsl:template match="/">
  <myheader 
		xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
		xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd" 
		supplier="My Company Ltd">
   <xx>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="$imported-xml" mode='import'/>
   </xx>
  </myheader >
 </xsl:template>
 
<!-- Here you add the namespace to each element and otherwise copy its
contents --> 
<xsl:template match='*' mode='import'>
   	<xsl:element name='{name()}' namespace='www.abc.org'> 
   		<xsl:apply-templates select='@*' mode='import'/>
 		<xsl:apply-templates select="* | text()" mode='import'/>

 	</xsl:element> 
 </xsl:template> 
     
<!-- Here you pick up any attributes -->
<xsl:template match='@*' mode='import'>
	<xsl:copy-of select='.'/>
</xsl:template>

I used the mode "import" to avoid any conflict with other templates you
might want to write that will not be handling the imported xml.  With
this approach you do not have to put a default namespace declaration
into "myheader" - the stylesheet will insert it for you in the top-level
element of the imported document.
