I've found that it only puts this in when you use xsl:copy (it aught to have
a parameter to avoid that, I think). Here is my solution:

  <xsl:template match="xhtml:*">
    <!-- This is an identity template for XHTML elements -->
    <!-- xsl:copy is no good because it explicitly gives the namespace
uri -->
    <xsl:element name="{name(.)}">
      <xsl:for-each select="@*">
        <xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:for-each>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

as opposed to:

<xsl:template match="xhtml:*">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates />
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I don't suppose the xmlns= would hurt to have in your xhtml output, but I
just wanted a 1:1 transformation in all cases, probably the same with you.
