This is what I get with Saxon:

<text_module xml:lang="en" xmlns:text="urn:DTD930">
   <p xmlns="urn:DTD930" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Test
Test Test Test</p>
</text_module>

Your output as shown is incorrect. Either you have made a cut-and-paste
error in transcribing it, or there is a bug in your processor.

The xmlns="urn:DTD930" declaration is necessary, because that's the
namespace that the <p> element is in. The text namespaces in the output
is unused, and can therefore be eliminated using
exclude-result-prefixes="text" on the xsl:stylesheet element. The xlink
namespace is also unused, but when you copy the <p> element, all its
in-scope namespaces are copied with it, "just in case". In XSLT 2.0 you
can prevent this using copy-namespaces="no" on the xsl:copy-of
instruction.
