In the exclude-result-prefixes you should provide the prefixes
you *don't* want to have in the result, rather then prefixes
bound to namespaces you actually use in the result. Try something
like

 <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
 xmlns:abc="abctest"
 exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml">
                          ^^^^^

You should also avoid binding the default namespace if possible.
