The crux of my question is this:
Is there a way to get namespace prefix declarations into the root
element of the result tree through the XSLT API?
With XSLT 2.0, use the xsl:namespace instruction
I'm stuck with XSLT 1.0
You have my deepest sympathy.
With XSLT 1.0, you can use xsl:copy-of to copy a namespace
node from
the source document to the result document.
But that only works if the namespace exists in the source document.
There's a workaround here if your processor has the xx:node-set() extension:
you can create an element in the required namespace, and then copy its
namespace nodes:
<xsl:variable name="dummy">
<xsl:element name="{$prefix}:dummy" namespace="{$uri}"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy-of select="xx:node-set($dummy)//namespace::*"/>
