Re: [xsl] how to remove xmls=""

You have copied the <front> and <body> elements from the source document, where 
they are in no namespace, so the serializer has to add the xmlns="" attribute 
to prevent the elements inheriting the namespace of their new parent.

It seems you actually want the <front> and <body> elements to be in namespace 
"http://specifications.silverchair.com/xsd/1/18/SCJATS-journalpublishing.xsd"; 
<http://specifications.silverchair.com/xsd/1/18/SCJATS-journalpublishing.xsd%22>,
 so you must generate them in that namespace. That means you can't simply copy 
them from the input. So the template rule that copies these elements shouldn't 
use <xsl:copy>, it should use <xsl:element name="{local-name()}" 
namespace="http://specifications.silverchair.com/xsd/1/18/SCJATS-journalpublishing.xsd
 
<http://specifications.silverchair.com/xsd/1/18/SCJATS-journalpublishing.xsd%22>">.

I see that you've experimented with the copy-namespaces and inherit-namespaces 
attributes of xsl:copy. I would suggest you avoid using these specialist 
attributes until you have a much better understanding of how namespace nodes 
and in-scope namespaces are handled by the XDM data model.
