You need to omit xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; in your stylesheet.
In addition, if you use an identity template, modify it like this:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*, node()" mode="#current"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Instead of local-name() you can also use name() if the HTML elements
don’t have a namespace prefix.
If you have modifying stylesheets, use the same xsl:element instructions
instead of xsl:copy.

I am processing html exported from InDesign documents. As such, Every
html document comes with the standard doctype and namespace declarations:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>">
In the past, I have skirted the namespace tangle by manually removing
the doctype and replacing <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>”> with an element name that the Oxygen
xslt engine would not quibble about, such as <mybook>. Since I have too
many documents to transform, I have left the doctype and html/namespace
in place and modified the stylesheet namespace declarations like this:
<xsl:stylesheetxmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>"
version="3.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"
xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map
<http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map>"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema>"
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/ <http://saxon.sf.net/>"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs map #default saxon">
Well and good. I can address the html elements directly in my
stylesheet. However, the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> appears in the root level element of all
output documents:
<divxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"class="apE">
<pclass="subhead_ap_topic">2.2 Yada Yada</p>
<pclass="subhead_ap_h2">Yuda</p>
<pclass="body_first">NNNN</p>
<pclass="subhead_ap_h4">MMMM</p>
<pclass="body_text">PPPP</p>
</div>
When I remove the namespace at the root level using
<xsl:element name=“div” namespace="">, the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> namespace appears on all child elements:
<divclass="apE">
<pxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"class="subhead_ap_topic">2.2 Yada Yada</p>
<pxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"class="subhead_ap_h2">Yuda</p>
<pxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"class="body_first">NNNN</p>
<pxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"class="subhead_ap_h4">MMMM</p>
<pxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"class="body_text">PPPP</p>
</div>
My question: Is it possible to remove all namespaces from my result
documents—short of selecting * and rebuilding all elements using
<xsl:element namespace=“”>? These namespace declarations don’t hamper
the display of the resulting documents. However, text is text and the
extra load, over pages and pages of such output can’t but add time to
rendering pages. Of course, having one namespace declaration at the root
level is preferable to having all child elements carrying a ns.
Any help in this would be appreciated.
