Re: I need to make sure that all namespace declaration

I have a situation where the processor is obviously optimising
namespace creation and placing them all over the place, unfortunately
I need to place them exactly on a particular element.

The relevant steps of the transformation are:

<xsl:template match="/">
<office:document-content office:version="1.0"
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="ns:node-set($instancedocument)/*" mode="toplevel"/>
</xsl:template>

the template that handles toplevel matching does a lot of ordering of
the document and uses
<xsl:copy-of select="self::*"/>
to output the actual instance inside of an xforms:model element:

which looks like this when it comes out

<xforms:model id="Invoice" xmlns:n="nodesetvariables"
xmlns:in="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2"
xmlns:number="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:datastyle:1.0">
<xforms:instance id="Instance_1">
<in:Invoice>

unfortunately I absolutely need to have xmlns:in to show up on the
in:Invoice element (as well as a couple other namespace declarations)
if I expect this to work with Open Office (rant about Open Office /
xforms omitted for sake of not making people go insane)

So how should I best accomplish this, should I exclude namespace at
the top of my stylesheet, thus forcing the processor to put it back in
elsewhere (doesn't actually seem to work because hey I need to control
exactly where my namespace gets put. nothing else will do. )

  <xsl:template ...>
    <xsl:call-template name="do-invoice"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="do-invoice" match="in:Invoice" xmlns:in="....">
    <in:Invoice ...>
  </xsl:template>
