The spec explicitly says you can't do this. Namespace declarations are
not attributes in the XSLT data model.

 It works fine when I specify the namspace

If it works fine, then your XSLT processor has a bug.

I would be interested to know why you are trying to add namespaces
dyamically. This is partly so that I can advise you how to solve your
problem, but it is also because the XML Query working group is currently
debating the requirements for creating namespaces in the result
document.
