Personally, I'd I open a bug as this is a change in behavior, and while 
this is still technically correct according to the DOM, it is a physical 
change to the output.   I believe the SSE XML team was doing some memory 
optimization last week as I caught a namespace issue during that time 
with some of the XSL Tools tests.
