With respect, I think that just makes the problem more complicated.
Let's have a simple black-and-white answer: either the p:xyzzy step is
required to produce namespace well-formed output or it isn't.

Saying that it can produce synthetic infosets that require namespace
fixup if it's a child of p:viewport but not if it's a child of
p:pipeline doesn't help (IMHO).
