Well we need to see the relevant templates to suggest the proper 
changes. I assume you use xsl:copy or xsl:copy-of and that by default 
copies any namespace nodes. If you don't want that then with XSLT 2.0 
you can use copy-namespace and inherit-namespaces to change that behaviour.

As for the parse error, please post more details on that.
