  <xsl:template name="recurseCopy">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="local-name()=''">

the local name will only ever be '' for nodes that have no name:
/ and comments, do you apply this template to such nodes?
 

 <xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="">
Yes that's the standard idiom for generating elements in no namespace.


Rather than

         <xsl:for-each select="node()">
              <xsl:call-template name="recurseCopy"/>
          </xsl:for-each>

I'd probably do


              <xsl:apply-templates mode="recurseCopy"/>

and apply the template directly rather than going via a nameed template,
just changing

<xsl:template name="recurseCopy">

to

<xsl:template match="Point|Attribute" mode="recurseCopy">
...

but that's more a matter of personal style preference tham anything
else.

David
