so be default you want it to complain. so in your core stylesheet that's
include dinto everything have

<xsl:template match="/*">
  <xsl:message>
  Go away: you are the wrong sort of thing.
  </xsl:message>
</xsl:template>

Then in a stylesheet that xsl:imports this stylesheet and is inteneded
for http://example.com/a namespace do

<xsl:styesheet xmlns:a="http://example.com/a" ...

<xsl:template match="/a:*>
  <something>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>


and similarly another styleseet inplementing a different namespace would
be the same but just letting its namespace through. Any input for which
the top level element doesn't have teh expected namespace will be
matched by the error message template in the included/imported common
stylesheet.
