I have found an error in the documentation regarding the behavior of the Source Writing Transformer: 
the docs state that the Source Writing Transformer does NOT honor prefixes and namespaces, when in 
fact it (now?) does.

Based on the information printed on the docs, I spent a couple hours and concocted a hack to 
overcome this documentented shortcoming, only to realize that it wasn't necessary at all. I'm confident 
that a revision could save a number of people some valuable time in the future :)
