If you want the new elements to be in namespace "www.abc.org" when the
old elements were in no namespace, then you are modifying them rather
than copying them. To do this you can't use xsl:copy-of, you have to
walk the tree using xsl:apply-templates and a template rule that does
something like:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="change-namespace">
<xsl:element name="local-name()" namespace="www.abc.org">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
