Yes, that's a good solution. It doesn't copy any namespaces that aren't
actually used, but that's OK if your source document doesn't use
QNames-in-content (such as xsi:type="xs:integer"). And it doesn't change the
namespace of any attributes.

You can read namespaces nodes using the namespace axis, and in 2.0 you can
create namespace nodes using the xsl:namespace instruction; but none of this
changes the name of an element or attribute. Element and attribute names
consist of a namespace URI plus local name, and to change the namespace URI
of the node you need to use the namespace attribute of xsl:element or
xsl:attribute.
