I had to go with single quotes...

<xsl:text xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>

... but that did the trick.

I don't know which way I'll go yet. I just wanted to have the answer
handy for when the time comes to decide. After I finish the initial
stylesheet development I might decide to eliminate the carriage returns
entirely. I want them there now for debugging (makes it easy on the
eyes).
