HTML, being SGML rather than XML, knows nothing about namespaces.
As far as HTML is concerned, xhtml:html is an element it's never
heard of, and <html xmlns="whatever-the-xhtml-namespace-is"> has
an invalid attribute (though it probably wouldn't mind that).

But as far as outputting HTML from XSLT goes, only elements in no
namespace are output according to the HTML rules.  So you have to
choose between outputting XHTML using the appropriate namespace, or
outputtting HTML with no namespace.

When outputting XML, it's up to the implementation, because they are
equivalent as XML.  When outputting HTML, it will do the Right Thing,
according to what kind of HTML element it is (so it will output
always-empty elements as, for example, <br>).
