[xslt] annotation-prefixes

I did actually experiment with this idea (I called it documentation-prefixes) but didn't pursue it because the details got quite complicated (like everything to do with namespaces). Although I didn't take it quite as far as this; my main aim was to ensure that namespaces declared only for use in top-level "data elements" had no effect on run-time execution (exclude-result-prefixes stops them being used by literal result elements, but not by other things that use the static namespace context at run-time, e.g. the xs:QName() constructor function).

I'd be fine with calling it documentation-prefixes; i did not consider xsl:element, but that's because i was thinking of them as a sort of extension instruction, and was trying to do the simplest proposal that would seem to support these use cases. If i construct an xsl:variable element with a name attribute set to v, i don't expect the name to become visible as $v either.
