That would be an unsupported assumption. When I omit the "exclude-result-prefixes" attribute from the <xsl:stylesheet> element. I get the desired output. When I paste it into the <xsl:stylesheet> element and make no other changes whatever, Saxon generates the error.

I would assume that the error message means what it says, and is unrelated
to the xs namespace issue.
