Perhaps a better way to ask is this: how to create a template that matches some or any namespace, and only a namespace, and then change the namespace to something you like. For instance, to rename a namespace, this is not allowed, but looks very nice in my eyes ;)

   <xsl:template match="namespace::">
       <xsl:namespace name="http://newnamespace" />
   </xsl:template>

But it is not possible to make a template for the namespace axis nodes. This is probably done before, but is it really as hard as in my previous posts?

I'm not at all sure what you're trying to do here, but

match="*[local-name() = '']

looks all wrong. Every element has a local name.
