My preference is to have the tool do the most desired thing
automatically but allow me to override it if I want.  Could you do that?
The default behavior would be the same as it is now and there would be
some way to find out what the tool had done.  Then, if I wanted to, I
could remove the namespace declaration(s) altogether or just change
it/them.

Feasible without too much hassle for you?
