A minor point, but: I believe you mean "but NOT the document node."
The root node can never have a namespace.

You asked for those elements to be put in a certain namespace;
you provided the namespace-URI, but XSLT needed a prefix to apply
the new namespace to the result elements, so it generated one.

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question; I assume Dimitre's
right.
