[xsl] XHTML rendering: xmlns Attribute in every template?

hello,
i am working on a quite simple custom XML to XHTML stylesheet. in the XSL template i put the XHTML xmlns in the top level html element.
	<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
so every result element in this template is also in the XHTML xmlns. 

the problem is that in every other template that i put into the stylesheet every result element again has to be put in the XHTML xmlns. so the whole stylesheet is more or less cluttered with 
<b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">... stuff.

the only other solution would be to put a xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" in the xsl:stylesheet element and prefix all result elements with that
<h:b>...

is the above the way it works? is there any simpler way of dealing with namespaces or this the only solution? esp with generating HTML it seems odd to use a namespace prefix.

thanks
chris
