Yes, but this would require creating all the output with <xsl:element>

The OP (in another forum) wants this default namespace to apply to
literal result elements that are descendents of this top node.
However, they are just copied to the output 1:1 and the serializer
takes special care to express the fact that they belong to no
namespace, by inserting "  xmlns=''     " on all of them.

It seems to me that using <xsl:namespace> it is not possible to
specify a default namespace.

I would be very glad if someone provides a concrete code sample
proving me wrong :)

Cheers,
Dimitre
