You are using xsl:copy - the problem with this is that it copies all
the namespace nodes as well as the element node, so these end up in
the output regardless of exclude-result-prefixes.  If you use
xsl:element instead, then you will only get the namespace declarations
that are really needed.  I think this trick is explained in Mike Kay's
book somewhere, but I could not put my finger on it when I looked.  Do
make sure you understand the bit about namespaces at the end of the
'usage' section of name() (top of page 521 in the 2nd edition).
Writing
  <xsl:element name="{name()}">
will get you into trouble if the prefixes are not consistent between
input document and stylesheet.
