as noted in the mathml errata there's an updated dtd in
http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/mathml2.dtd

 <xsl:template match="math">
the mathml dt dthat you've included will default mathml elements in to
the mathml namespace so this will need to be

<xsl:template match="m:math">

where m: is bound in the stylesheet to the mathml namespace

since you just want to copy math and all it's children you can simplify
what you had to

 <xsl:template match="m:math">
  <xsl:copy-of select"."/>
 </xsl:template>

In the meantime I found the following solution.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
version="1.0">

  <xsl:template match="m:*">
    <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">

      <xsl:for-each select="@*">
        <xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:for-each>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

This seems to work and has the advantage that I may create templates for
certain mathml elements when I would need them.
However, your solution may prove useful...

There is however a difference between the output from xalan (in Cocoon)
and xsltproc.
the xalan is as I would expect, however from xsltproc I get the
following:

<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
overflow="scroll"><msqrt xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">x</mi>+<mi
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">y</mi></msqrt></math>

that is the namespace is included in every tag. Is this correct
and simply redundant or what?
