Re:  removing unecessary attributes
Your input is not a well-formed XML. Because attributes are not
enclosed in quotes.

Following approaches quickly come to my mind to handle this.

1) An XSLT process cannot get this input as a data model tree, as a
result of XML parsing. Because XML parser will reject this input.
One approach can be, you can use the XSLT 2.0 function, unparsed-text
to read this input as a string and then parse it by hand and do the
transformation you need. But this will not be trivial.

2) Make the input a well-formed XML. Doing this by hand could be
tedious. So you could use a tool like, HTML tidy
(http://tidy.sourceforge.net/).
After you get a well-formed XML as an input, then writing the XSLT
stylesheet for this requirement is quite easy. A modified identity
stylesheet will work here, easily.
