You set it for each individual stylesheet module.
This means that the source text can be understand in terms of itself, plus
any texts it depends upon (via xsl:include or xsl:import).
If instead, the importing modules settings were used, then you would need to
read the set of all modules that depend upon the txt you are reading - a
potentially unbounded set - many of it's members might not yet be written.
So this would be a very bad software engineering practice. Fortunately, the
XSLT designers didn't do it that way.

It seems exclude-result-prefixes needs to be explicity set for each
imported stylesheet, rather than using the value in the importing
stylesheet - is that right?
For example:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs">
<xsl:import href="b.xslt"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="foo"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
b.xslt:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:template name="foo">
<foo/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The result is:
<foo xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" />
Is there any reason why the exclude-result-prefixes value isn't taken
from the importing stylesheet? Not the biggest issue I know, just
struck me as odd.
