xsl:copy-of can only be used if you want an exact copy.

If you want to make any changes at all, use a recursive descent using
xsl:apply-templates, defining an identity template rule using xsl:copy,
plus specific template rules to define the changes you want to make.

To remove namespace nodes from an element, use

<xsl:element name="local-name()">

in place of <xsl:copy>
