RE: Unwanted namespace after using COPY-OF

xsl:copy-of copies a complete subtree, unchanged, including all its
namespaces.

exclude-result-prefixes only affects the behavior of literal result elements
in the stylesheets, it has no effect on xsl:copy-of.

XSLT 2.0 allows you to suppress namespaces by means of a new attribute on
xsl:copy-of (copy-namespaces="yes|no")

In XSLT 1.0, if you want to copy everything except namespaces you need:

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