When elements are added to a tree by an insert or replace expression, it's not
clear whether the inserted elements inherit the in-scope namespaces of their
new parent. Possible answers are (a) always inherit, (b) never inherit, (c)
conditionally inherit based on the copy-namespaces mode in the static context.

For consistency with element construction (c) seems the most logical, given
that the mode exists.
