[xsl] Adding a Namespace to the Identity Transformation

Suppose I have an XML document:

<Books>
 <Book>
  <Author>Steve Farrar</Author>
  <Title>Point Man</Title>
 </Book>
</Books>

I would like to create an identical output with one exception -- I want to
add a namespace exactly like so:

<Books xmlns="http://www.books.com";>
 <Book>
  <Author>Steve Farrar</Author>
  <Title>Point Man</Title>
 </Book>
</Books>

Normally I would use the identity transformation for such a task, but
XSL:COPY copies the namespace of the input element to the output.  Any
suggestions?

TIA,
