No, this is compliant with the XSLT rec.

The idea is that, since some vocabularies are also using namespaces 
declarations to qualify "QNames" in attributes (or elements), a XSLT 
processor shouldn't take the responsability to remove any namespace 
declaration.

The author of a stylesheet can do so by using the 
"exclude-result-prefixes" attribute of the stylesheet element:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#stylesheet-element

In you case, <xsl:stylesheet ... exclude-result-prefixes="saxon"> should do the trick.


Hope this helps.

Eric
