I'm just learning XSLT, so forgive me if my question has an obvious answer. I declared a namespace as part of a stylesheet (just as an experiment really):
<xsl:stylesheet xsl:version="1.0"
               mia:version="0.0"
               xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
               xmlns:mia="http://www.fooBar.com/mia"
...
</doc>
The processor adds this namespace to my result document:

<doc xmlns:mia="http://www.fooBar.com/mia">.../doc

I don't understand why it does this and I haven't been able to find anything in the XSLT spec that explains it.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#section-Creating-the-Result-Tree

"The created element node will also have a copy of the namespace nodes that were present on the element node in the stylesheet tree with the exception of any namespace node whose string-value is the XSLT namespace URI (http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform), a namespace URI declared as an extension namespace (see [14.1 Extension Elements]), or a namespace URI designated as an excluded namespace."
