The way I normally generate XHTML is to declare all the important
namespaces in the xsl:stylesheet, and then just let processor handle
setting the namespaces in the top element. I don't use <xsl:element>
if I can get away with it. Both SAXON and Xalan seem to handle this
in a nice way (and it's, to my eyes, easier to read):

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
  xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope"
  xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="senderid"/>
  <xsl:param name="receiverid"/>
  <xsl:param name="dateTime"/>
  <xsl:param name="documentid"/>

  <xsl:template match="Order">
    <SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
      <SOAP-ENV:Header>
        <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader>
          <MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>
            <xsl:value-of select="$senderid"/>
          </MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>
          <MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID>
            <xsl:value-of select="$receiverid"/>
          </MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID>
          <MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>
            <xsl:value-of select="$dateTime"/>
          </MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>

          <MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>
            <xsl:value-of select="$documentid"/>
          </MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>
          <MCF-ENV:messageState>
            <xsl:text>Inbound</xsl:text>
          </MCF-ENV:messageState>

          </MCF-ENV:businessDocID>
          <MCF-ENV:MCFMessageType>
            <xsl:text>MCFPurchaseOrder</xsl:text>
          </MCF-ENV:MCFMessageType>
          <MCF-ENV:messageFormat>
            <xsl:text>xCBL</xsl:text>
          </MCF-ENV:messageFormat>
          <MCF-ENV:messageContainer>
            <xsl:text>Order</xsl:text>
          </MCF-ENV:messageContainer>
          <MCF-ENV:businessDoc>
            <Order>
              <xsl:apply-templates select="OrderHeader"/>
              <xsl:call-template name="OrderDetail"/>

Using both SAXON and Xalan, I believe the above dumps out the elements
and attributes you seem to want:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header>
      <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader>
         <MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>sender1</MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>
         <MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID/>
         <MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>now baby, now</MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>
         <MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier>NA</MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier>
         <MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>doc1.0</MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>
         <MCF-ENV:messageState>Inbound</MCF-ENV:messageState>
      </MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader>
   </SOAP-ENV:Header>
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPBody>
         <MCF-ENV:businessDocID>doc1.0</MCF-ENV:businessDocID>
         <MCF-ENV:MCFMessageType>MCFPurchaseOrder</MCF-ENV:MCFMessageType>
         <MCF-ENV:messageFormat>xCBL</MCF-ENV:messageFormat>
         <MCF-ENV:messageContainer>Order</MCF-ENV:messageContainer>
         <MCF-ENV:businessDoc>
            <Order/>
         </MCF-ENV:businessDoc>
      </MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPBody>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
