It seems like the XSLT 2.0 rules produce an effect, which
hinders the elimination of the stylesheet's XSLT-namespace
declaration with the prefix "xsl":
The criteria behind the spec were:
* produces the desirable and intuitive effect in "natural" use cases
* produces a well-defined effect in other cases
* avoids excess complexity in the spec.
To be honest, I think the language would be perfectly viable without
namespace-alias. You just have to use xsl:element and xsl:attribute when
generating stylesheets - which is what many people do anyway.
