<xsl:template match="namespace-uri() = 
'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict'">
	      <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>


several things wrong,
firstly the match attribute has to take a Pattern, ie a restricted form
of Xpath exprssion that would select nodes. You have an = expression so
its a boolean valued expression just evaluating to true or false so is a
syntax error.

secondly that is not the xhtml namespace
you want'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml

so you want to put
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
on your xsl:stylesheet and then have

match="h:*"

that matches everything in that namespace (whatever prefix or non-prefix
they have in the source file).
