No, unfortunately not. I tried to get something like this in, but the general tendency of the WG was resistance to making namespaces even more complicated than they were already. If you want the output to be in an unprefixed namespace, but the input is in no namespace, then the only ways I know to achieve this are either (a) to use computed element constructors to create all the output elements, or (b) to put all the path expressions into functions, rather than having them nested within element constructors I think it would have been better to have had two completely separate static namespace contexts, one used for path expressions and one for constructed elements, and for namespace declarations on constructed elements to affect only the latter.
