You need to rename the elements in the source document: the namespace
component of the element names was null, and you want it to be
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. xsl:copy-of does an exact copy, it can't be
used to make changes such as renaming the elements. So you need a variant of
the identity transform that renames all elements:
<xsl:template match="*" mode="rename">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*"/> <!-- you may not need this line
-->
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="rename"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] removing a null namespace
Hi,
I'd be grateful if someone could give me an answer/better solution to
my problem....
I have a document which contains, in part, some fragments of xhtml.
I'm using copy-of to pass these elements through to the final xhtml
document unaltered but I find they are having a null
namespace added.
Here are some cut down's that will hopefully explain what I mean...

</html>
//////////////////////////
The xml document (not included here, but the relevant section is just
plain <h1>header</h1><p>lipusm....</p>.
As I understand it doing a copy-of will include the namespace of the
elements and, as there is no namespace in the original xml,
this is "".
My problem is, how can I stop this being carried over into the
transformed document? I can't use exclude-result-prefixes to exclude
"", unless I'm mistaken.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Gavin
