Because in your XSLT stylesheet you're matching elements in null-namespace. Use e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"
 xmlns:e="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">

<xsl:output method="xml"
            indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="e:Workbook">
  <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[ancestor::e:Workbook]">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
