Have you considered perhaps[1]:

<xsl:output
     method="exslt:uri"
     exslt:uri="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-MathML"/>

That way one wouldn't have to maintain an enumeration of the recognized 
name tokens in the definition of exslt, only in the list of supported URI 
values by individual processors.

[1] from Section 2.1 of XSLT 1.0: An element from the XSLT namespace may 
have any attribute not from the XSLT namespace, provided that the 
expanded-name of the attribute has a non-null namespace URI. The presence 
of such attributes must not change the behavior of XSLT elements and 
functions defined in this document.
