RE: [xsl] Removing the namespace in the output tags

In your input, the p element is in the XHTML namespace. In the output, you
want it to be in a different namespace (technically, in no namespace). So
you can't copy the element, you have to rename it (because the namespace is
part of the name). The same applies to all its descendants. You can do this
with a modified version of the identity template:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="">
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

My XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version=" 1.1"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings";
xmlns:xhtml=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:libxslt="http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/namespace";
exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml">
<xsl:template match="NewsML">
<story_text deepcopy='yes'><xsl:copy-of
select="ContentItem/DataContent/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/*"/></st
ory_text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

OUTPUT:

<story_text><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>  (Adds 
company news, index futures and analyst comment)</p> <p 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> Early signs of

Question:

How to remove the namespace from the p tags for the output 
through XSL. Is there any syntax error in XSL.

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks and Regards
Srinivas
