[xsl] how to remove namespace declarations

hi

i have to remove namespace declarations in certain elements. i.e. i  
have this one:
<Facts xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/HTML/1998/html4";  
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
  <lotOfElements/>
</Facts>

and i want to get this one:

<Facts>
  <lotOfElements/>
</Facts>

i can't manage to get there. even when i try to remove all attributes  
from the element
<xsl:template match="Facts">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

does not remove these unnecessary namespaces. i was searching for an  
answer but could only find how to remove namespace prefixes. but i  
have to remove the declarations. any help is very appreciated.
best regards
frank
