I think that's probably a mistake. If you are using saxon  6 (as I do in
the day job, although I use saxon8 for most other stuff) I think it is
much better to stick with XSLT 1.0 (which is a published recommendation)
and use saxon:output to get multiple output documents. That way you are
explictly using an extension element to get extended features.

Not necessarily, many people won;t migrate until it becomes a
recommendation, which will be some time next year I think as a current
best guess.

You are getting 
      <title xmlns="">PROJFULLNAME: Home</title>

because you have generated a title element in no-namespace and that is
the only way such an element can be serialised if its parent is in a
namespace. The solution is to generate title (and all other elements) in
the xhtml namespace, usually by putting xmlns="..." on xsl:stylesheet
so it is in scope for the whole stylesheet.
