  Looking at common/common.xsl:

exclude-result-prefixes="doc" is on the stylesheet
However the elements are childs of xsl:stylesheet and hence are excluded
independantly of this.

  Okay, actually what I do is that I simply remove elements from the
excluded namespaces from the stylesheet being processed, including their
children subtree if any. Maybe this is too strong but I have a hard time
trying to figure out precisely what is meant from reading the spec. This
looks fine when I consider how Norm used it.

  More concrete example of actual use or behaviour of other processors
would be welcome.
