The expression "self::@name" doesn't work; it expands to 
"self::attribute::name" which as you can see is malformed. It turns 
out you can't find attributes on the self:: axis (in XSLT 1.0), which 
is too bad for this particular application.

Ragulf offers the two ready solutions: exclude the attribute by 
testing its name, or selecting the other attributes explicitly 
instead. Or instead of copying them with copy-of, a third solution 
would be to use templates to do the copying; the template for @name 
can filter it out.

Cheers,
Wendell
