No.  Say in your XSL the XHTML elements have a namespace of "gunk"
then the generic transform would basically be:

<xsl:template match="gunk:*">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

that will strip the namespace off the XHTML elements and send them to
the front end,  so that an H1 is an H1 a P is a P, etc.  Anything with
a different name space gets handled according to whatever custom logic
you need.
