I can't tell you what you should be doing (it's too late at night to try
and understand your problem clearly) but I can tell you a little about
what you're doing wrong.

    <xsl:copy-of select="*[..]"/>

This xsl:copy-of instruction copies all children of the root node that
have a parent. Of course all children of the root have a parent, so the
predicate does nothing. If you left out the predicate, you would copy
the whole source document, without making any changes to it. That can't
really be what you want.

> 		<xsl:for-each select="/">

This selects the root node of the tree and iterates over it. There's no
point in iterating over a node-set containing a single node (and it's
only selecting the node that's already the context node for this
template anyway).

If you're iterating over one node, then that node will always be the
last...

Both these namespaces are already declared, why do you need to declare
them again?

I'm sorry my comments aren't more constructive but I hope they help you
see what you're doing wrong.
