so I can write, in xslt 2.0,

  <xsl:template match="....">
  <xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet" xsl:namespace="http://example.com">


No, In 2.0 you'd do:

<xsl:template match="....">
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
<xsl:namespace name="" select="'http://example.com'"/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>



In xslt1 I'd have used namespace aliasing then you could have gone

<xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet" >
  <axsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </axsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:template>


where axsl is aliased to xsl. That way you don't need any node set
extension or explict namespace node copying.
