You don't get any control over the prefix that's used in the output
(which is a problem if you want to produce output that's DTD-valid,
because DTDs can be prefix-sensitive).

But I would expect most engines to serialize the literal result element 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> as written, and probably to
do the same with

<xsl:element name="html" namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

You didn't actually tell us what you tried.

When will they ever learn?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind...
