I think your logic is a complicated approach. Isn't your desired output
the same as saying

"Discard all *List elements and rename any *ListLocalVal elements to
*List elements."

?

That would then be

<xsl:template name="process-list">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="ends-with( local-name(), 'ListLocalVal')">
      <xsl:element name="{substring-before(local-name(), 'LocalVal')}">
        <xsl:apply-templates />
      </xsl:element>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <!-- discard the element: do nothing here -->
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Am I thinking too simple?
