  that for-each is a verbose way of writing <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>

you'd need to suppress the schema processing, or at least the 
defaulting. using a basic rather than a schema-aware processor would 
work, unless you need the schema aware behaviour elsewhere, or you could 
use a catalog or entity resolver to switch in a schema that didn't 
default, or your processor might have an option to suppress defaulting 
(saxon does for example:
 -expand:on|off        Expand defaults defined in schema/DTD
)
