  This section is unclear. I think it is used to suppress elements since
it basically put elements from this namespace at the same level as those
from the XSLT namespace URI. Also I don't see how you can output the node
if your are not allowed to generate a declaration for its namespace. I 
was wondering if the excluded set of elements included the subtree or
just the element. Currently I skip the full subtree.
  The best would be to get someone to check with other XSLT processors
(I don't have any installed) and report how they behave. I doubt it's
just the namespace node, maybe it's just the elements in that namespace
which are removed.

  Feedback on this welcome,

Daniel
