Associate your xslt elements with another namespace prefix, as follows

<xsl:stylesheet 
    xmlns:asl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
      xmlns:xslt=http://www.some.com/xsl >

then you can say the following:
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xslt" result-prefix="xsl"/>

<asl:template match="/">
	<xslt:stylesheet>
 <asl:apply-templates/></xslt:stylesheet>
</asl:template>
<asl:template match="params">
<asl:for-each select="p">
<xslt:param name="{.}" select="{@value}"/>
</asl:for-each>
</asl:template>

I like this because you can keep separate your stylesheet generating
stuff asl: from your stylesheet stuff xslt: 

Depending on your processor your output will either have all the xslt
changed to xsl, or you'll have something like this(in Saxon for example)

<xslt:stylesheet
 xmlns:xslt=" http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
....and so forth
