Think pipelines. First stage (optional): convert everything to the correct
namespace. Second stage: do the real processing.

You can implement a pipeline either within a single stylesheet or with a
series of stylesheets linked at application level. In the first approach,
you typically do:

<xsl:variable name="output-of-phase-1">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/" mode="phase-1"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="output-of-phase-2">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="xx:node-set($output-of-phase-1)"
mode="phase-2"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="$output-of-phase-N"/>
</xsl:template>
