xsl:value-of doesn't do what you think it does.
Replace both instances with <xsl:apply-templates/>, and add

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and you will see something much closer to what you want.

This makes the default for any element be to copy the element, its
attributes, and its children (thus picking up footnote, fn, etc. intact).
This overrides the default template for elements, which is just
<xsl:apply-templates/>. This is overriden by the templates for COUNSEL,
JUDGES and nl elements.
