I looked through some function defs and I agree this is a significant
problem.  I had not noticed it because I implement EXSLT directly and I
don't use the templates.  All the templates should have the added
namespace declaration, but I hesitate to make it

http://exslt.org/common

I think that has the effect of adding too much normative force to the
languages used in the sample implementation scripts.  I suggest instead

http://exslt.org/non-normative/implementations

Thoughts?
