[xml] libxslt (second to latyest version) is too aggressive about namespace aliasing

[Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo metalab unc edu>]

See http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27935 for 
details of bug. Xerces and libxslt are treating namespace-alias of 
elements created by xsl:element differently. I initially thought that 
libxslt was correct and Xerces2-J incorrect so I reported it as a bug 
over there. However,  Henry Zongaro makes a convincing argument that 
Xerces is in fact correct and libxslt incorrect.
