RE: exclude result prefixes doesn't stop prefix from s

exclude-result-prefixes only affects the namespaces copied from the
stylesheet by a literal result element, it doesn't affect copying of
namespaces from source documents. In any case, the codeBook element is
in the namespace http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI, so the namespace must
be declared. exclude-result-prefixes only suppresses namespaces that are
not used in any element or attribute name, and this namespace is used.
What you want to do is not to suppress the namespace declaration, it is
to change the name of the element, which you can do by using
<xsl:element name="{local-name(.)}"> in place of xsl:copy.
