RE: Namespace on output node but not not in source

The rules for a literal result element say that all its in-scope namespaces
are copied to the result tree.

However, you should be able to prevent this using exclude-result-prefixes.
If this isn't working, please supply a complete (but small!) stylesheet to
demonstrate the problem so we can see what you are doing wrong.
