I didn't accommodate attributes in the namespace.  Note how the 
processor adds a namespace prefix of its own choice in the first 
example run below.  I added a namespace-qualified attribute in your input.

You might wonder at the predicate qualification of the 
element.  Since any element not in a namespace cannot have a prefix, 
it can simply be preserved ... the template only catches those 
elements that are in a namespace.  Similarly for attributes.

Oh, also, remember you said "all" namespace prefixes have been 
replaced ... I'm assuming in my solution that in your document there 
is at most one namespace.  My code will also work if you send it a 
document with no namespaces ... you just don't get any prefixes in 
your result because you can't have a prefix for the no-namespace.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers!
