This doesn't solve the problem, merely pushes it from the xmlns
attribute to xslLiteral. Your proposal lets me put literal elements
into a stylesheet that the XSLT processor might otherwise interpret as
instructions. It doesn't address the problem of elements that are not
XSLT instruction in the current version but will be in the next one.
To be safe, you'll need to put xslLiteral='yes' on *every* literal
result element because every one of them may acquire some meaning in a
future version of the spec.
