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?
No, it's not a bug. You have already created the foo element with the name
("", foo). Adding a namespace node can't change the name of its parent
element, and an element named ("", foo) can't have a namespace node that
binds prefix "" to URI "bar".
The answer is to put the element foo in the right namespace at the time you
create it.
