Once more you are right. :) I found the following statement:
<!ATTLIST %html.qname;
%XHTML.xmlns.attrib;
%XHTML.version.attrib;
%I18n.attrib; >
But then I do not understand why it is necessary to add the namespace to
every (X)HTML element/tag as it is being done?

To be precise I am using the DTD from XHTML Basic 1.0. It's DOCTYPE
declaration looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">

Well, that would be an solution if I would have the possible to change
the content of the source XML files, which I do not have. :(

Hmmmm... that might be a solution, but it also would make the
stylesheet(s) kind of 'unreadable' and debugging/maintenance activies
much more difficult !! :(

After some testing this seems to be the best solution so far!! :)

Well, when I place a <xsl:cop-of/> at the template matching the root
element ("/"), I receive the following output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--

I'm using Xalan J 2.0.0 as XSLT processor.
Any hints how to deactive this??
One further question concerning my problem:
Is there a possibilty to check in the XSLT stylesheet which or how many
namespaces are declare/used in the XML file which is being transformed?
