I think what Ross is asking for isn't necessarily a bad thing for a given page which doesn't actually use the lift namespace after all processing has occurred.
Think of it in a more general sense: how do I filter any namespace that isn't actually present in the result XML? This is actually an important question from a security perspective as I may not want to divulge a name space that is used internally. eg. a "cms" name space expressed in a previous thread. If plug-ins or similar functionality is to be supported in the future the resolution of this issue is probably a must. To my mind it should be possible to search the XML for all used name spaces and then to remove any name spaces declared but not present. Whether or not the "lift" name space is treated specially or not is an implementation issue... It should also be possible to raise an error if an element exists in a XML result that has a name space that shouldn't be present (the counter example).
