You don't need to remove a namespace - you need to add one! In the input,
levering is not in a namespace, and in the output, you want it to be in the
namespace http://helloworld.com/. So you need to change the element's name.
You can't do that using xsl:copy-of, which copies elements without any
changes.

You just need a modified form of the identity template:

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

Concentrate on getting the names of the elements right, remembering that the
name has two parts, a local name and a namespace URI. The XSLT processor
will then take care of the namespace declarations and undeclarations.
