Re: removing a specific namespace declaration

That's extremely helpful Ken. Using copy-of against the namespace axis was the key insight for me. Thanks very much.

The foo namespace usage is an unused artifact, so I just wanted to clean up the output.

It's still a little unclear to me why this approach requires a namespace declaration in the element (namespace="{namespace-uri(.)}"), as I would have thought the explicit copying of namespace nodes would have taken care of it, but the namespace fog is gradually starting to clear.

Thanks again for the tip, Ken!
