Just write that directly eg:

<xsl:result-document  ...>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

...or set the default namespace on an ancestor of the <html> literal
result element in the xml-that-is-the-xslt, which is a long way of
saying set the xhtml namespace on your xsl:stylesheet element.

That will resolve itself once the ancestor <html> is in the right
namespace, but again its caused by scoping of the namespace in the
xml-that-is-the-xslt... Its intuitive to think that because an element
is added to the result as a descendant of <html> it will take on the
default namespace, but its the location in your stylesheet that
decides what default namespace it has.  A good thing to do until the
penny drops is to use a prefix for the xhtml namespace, then its
pretty clear.
