RE: removing a null namespace

null namespace
You need to rename the elements in the source document: the namespace
component of the element names was null, and you want it to be
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. xsl:copy-of does an exact copy, it can't be
used to make changes such as renaming the elements. So you need a variant of
the identity transform that renames all elements:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="rename">
  <xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*"/>  <!-- you may not need this line
-->
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="rename"/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
