This does get the tags across without their namespace attributes, but 
has the side effect of removing all other attributes as well. I'm sure 
the stylesheet could be modified to include the attributes in the 
output, but my skills are not quite refined enough for that just yet...

Another issue is that I would also need to modify the template matching 
expression to select the children of the body instead of the whole 
document. Anyone willing to break it down for me?
