I don't really understand why you want the namespaces from the
*stylesheet* copied through into the output? Surely the only
namespaces that should go through are those from the original source
document and those from the document that's being XIncluded?

Can you give an example that demonstrates what you want to happen?

It might be that doing something like:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="xinclude">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/namespace::*" />
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" mode="xinclude" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

would give you what you want -- taking the namespace nodes from the
xsl:stylesheet element and copying them on to each element that's
copied from the source document(s).

Cheers,

Jeni
