You are copying <table>'s attributes except @type, and then everything 
else (the tgroup element and its *unaltered* content).  <emphasis> and 
its @type attribute will be part of the content that will be copied 
verbatim, and therefore it's still there in the output.

What you probably intended to use is a catch-all template like this:

  <xsl:template match="@* | *">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* except @type | * | text()" />
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
