Hmm. What doesn't happen when I use this improved code is copying of the
namespace nodes from the xsl:stylesheet document, as happens in normal
output (that is, if I don't go through this initial xinclude step).

Is that simply unavoidable or is there some other namespace subtlety
that I'm overlooking?
