It's basically OK.
But your match="/" template is the same as the built-in template for
document nodes; and you only want the match="node()" template to handle
elements, so it would be better to say so by writing match="*".
You need to be aware that if your source document contains attributes such
as xml:space, xml:lang, or xsi:type, they will get mangled.

Subject: [xsl] Identity without namespaces
Dear All
I'm trying to write a transform that is basically an identity 
transform but 
without any namespaces being copied.
I know this is easier in version 2.0 but would anyone comment 
on my effort 
below, it seems to work but have I missed anything or could 
it be simplified?
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:value-of select="." />
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="comment() | processing-instruction() | text()">
    <xsl:copy />
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="node()">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks
Joe
