still, seems weird. there is simple way to pass parameters,
and to pass the name of the input file, dynamically

yes, you should. the default namespace in the stylesheet
relates to the _output_, not the input (XSLT 2.0 would help
you here).

ah, the deep copy-of does that.

I suppose I'd add in an identity transform:

<xsl:template match="@*|text()|comment()|processing-instruction()">
 <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates
	select="*|@*|processing-instruction()|comment()|text()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and let nature take its course. that should avoid the
extras.
