    I'm talking to myself now. :^)

    I found that this removes unnecessary namespace declarations...

      <xsl:template match="atom:*" mode="copy-entry">
        <xsl:element name="atom:{local-name(.)}">
          <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="node()" mode="copy-entry"/>
        </xsl:element>
      </xsl:template>

    And the "xmlns:foo" only appears on "foo" namespace elements.

    This is pretty close to "namespace normal".

    Can it get any better?
