RE: how to remove xmlns attributes in html out put via

Sorry, I should have read a little more carefully - the namespace comes from
the source document, not from the stylesheet.

xsl:copy-of does an exact copy. If you want to change the names of the
elements in the source document (by changing their namespace), you can't use
xsl:copy-of, you need to transform the source using a variant of the
identity template:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="copy-sans-namespace">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="">
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="copy-sans-namespace"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
