That template creates an 'Rectangle' element in no namespace.

You seem to insert that 'Rectangle' element into a parent element in a 
namespace and to ensure it has no namespace the serializer adds the 
xmlns="".

You probably want
   <xsl:stylesheet
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     version="1.0"
     xmlns="putNamespaceURIHere">
where you put the proper namespace URI you want for (all) your result 
elements in there.

Or you need to use

   <xsl:template match="key">
      <Rectangle xmlns="putNamespaceURIHere" RadiusX="3" RadiusY="3" 
Stroke="#FFFF0000"
StrokeMiterLimit="4" Canvas.Left="{outline/@x}" Canvas.Top="{outline/@y}"
Width="{outline/@width}" Height="{outline/@height}"  StrokeThickness="1"
ToolTip="row:{@row} position:{@position} id:{@id} scan:{@scan}" />
   </xsl:template>
