Exclude-inline-prefixes and unused prefixes

Hi all,

If you do not explicitly exclude an inline prefix using
exclude-inline-prefixes, and this prefix is not used in the content of
p:inline, will/must/should the prefix appear in the resulting document?

Currently, the exclude-inline-prefixes related tests in the test suite
expect these prefixes to appear in the document. For instance, the
following test (exclude-inline-prefixes-001):

<p:declare-step name="main"
		xmlns:t="http://xproc.org/ns/testsuite"
		xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
		xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"
		xmlns:err="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-error">
  <p:output port="result"/>
  <p:identity>
    <p:input port="source">
      <p:inline exclude-inline-prefixes="t p err"><doc/></p:inline>
    </p:input>
  </p:identity>

  <p:wrap-sequence wrapper="wrapper"/>

  <p:escape-markup/>
</p:declare-step>

Is expected to return:

<wrapper>&lt;doc
xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"/&gt;</wrapper>


I am asking because in our implementation, the prefix "c" does not
appear in the inline document.
