1. select="*" only selects child elements, it does does not select
attributes, namespaces, text nodes, comments, or processing instructions.

2. xmlns:ns2 in the XPath model is not an attribute. It turns into a
namespace node. You cannot apply-templates to namespace nodes (well, you
can, but no template rule will ever match them).

To get rid of namespace nodes that are being copied from the source
document, in XSLT 2.0 you can use <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">. In 1.0
you have to use <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">.
