I recently encountered the same problem. It seems you can't construct an
element without explicit prefix and then create a default namespace declaration
for the element. I guess it makes sense because if you haven't had a default
namespace declaration, then the element without prefix should belong to null
namespace.

Subject: Re: [xsl] Is it possible to set the default namespace with a
dynamically-generated namespace uri?
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#element-namespace
If the effective value of the name attribute is a zero-length string, a
namespace node is added for the default namespace.
so
<foo>
<xsl:namespace name="" select="$x"/>
sets the default namespace to the uri in the variable x.

David, I tried this hours before asking the question.
Saxon raises this error:
SystemID: D:\XSLT\MSTE_xslt\delete.xsl
Severity: fatal
Description: Cannot output a namespace node for the default namespace
when the element is in no namespace
Start location: 9:0
URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTDE0440
I thought this wasn't a bug in Saxon. Or is it?
Cheers,
Dimitre

It seems that<xsl:namespace> was not intended for this purpose.
Any suggestions for a solution?
