That where it hurts: you must set the namespaces feature to the reader, so
that the output elements remain exactly in the same namespace :

reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", true);

Once you set the namespaces feature, Xalan2 will handle both processing in
the same fashion. Unfortunately it does not work because of the stylesheet
not handling the default namespace.. :-(
