RE: exclude result prefixes doesn't stop prefix from showing up.

My experiences 
suggest that 
if the source document contains a default namespace then you 
have to map 
the namespace to an alternate prefix (ddi: in my example) 
otherwise the 
templates "match and select" statements do not work), in 
other words its 
impossible to match elements in the default xmlns namespace without 
mapping that namespace to a different prefix.

Correct.

I find this counter-intuitive.

Also correct. This is why it's a FAQ.

Unfortunately many things about namespaces are counter-intuitive. They
were sent to try us. But there's no point complaining, they are there
and we have to live with the rules as they come.
