XSLT 1.0 is clear that on serialization, the namespace declaration must be
added. It doesn't say that a namespace node must be added to the result tree
- but that doesn't appear to be the issue here. If you are saying that Xalan
is creating a serialized output document that is not namespace-conformant,
then you should take that up with Xalan, because it is clearly something
XSLT 1.0 does not allow.
