xmlns:ditaarch is a namespace, not an attribute (namespaces are not attributes
in the XDM data model).
The way to drop a namespace depends on whether the namespace is actually used
or not. Sometimes when people say they want to drop a namespace declaration,
what they actually want to do is to move the elements into a different
namespace. From your question, it's not clear whether that is the case here.
To drop an unused namespace, in XSLT 2.0 you can do <xsl:copy
copy-namespaces="no">, while in 1.0 you need to use <xsl:element
name="{local-name()}">.
To move an element into a different namespace, you have to use <xsl:element>
rather than <xsl:copy>.
You template rule for attributes could be replaced with the much simpler:
<xsl:template name="processAtrbiutes">
<xsl:apply-templates select="./@*"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@class | @domains | @DITAArchVersion |
@ux-source-priority"/>
<xsl:template match="@*"><xsl:copy/></xsl:template>

I'm using XSLT to process DITA topics. This is a conversion/cleanup effort to
try and normalize our content before loading into a new CMS. So basically
doing an identity transformation with some random modifications.
In the DTD is the definition
xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/";
This is the primary template that is doing the transformation
<xsl:template match="node()" priority="-10">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="processAtrbiutes"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
And this is the template that I have handling the attributes
<xsl:template name="processAtrbiutes">
<xsl:for-each select="./@*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name(.) = 'class'">
<!-- Remove -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="name(.) = 'domains'">
<!-- Remove -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="local-name(.) = 'DITAArchVersion'">
<!-- Remove -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="local-name(.) = 'ditaarch'">
<!-- Remove -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="local-name(.) = 'ux-source-priority'">
<!-- Remove -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:attribute name="{local-name(.)}" select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Basically I want to copy the attributes in the XML file that have been
applied and remove anything that has a default in the DTD.
I have the ditaarch test here that is doing no good, but the other tests do
what they are supposed to. For the namespace I tried declaring this namespace
on the <xsl:stylesheet> element and then exclude it but that didn't work
either.
Any suggestions?
