Actually, this is an issue that may go beyond XHTML.  Specs that use
namespaces for versioning may have similar problems, as could various other
uses of namespaces that change the namespace without necessarily changing
the stylesheet or schema.

XHTML is the most visible cause for concern, but not the only one.

The www-style list has discussed this a few times:

I'm not sure we'll be able to get some kind of namespace mapping or
wildcarding into XSLT 1.0, but it may well be worth considering.
