xsl:copy-of does not take into account exclude-result-prefixes.

You have to explicitly create the element in the namespace you want,  
as you have been shown.

As I wrote previously, the identity transform with explicit creation  
of elements might even be faster that copy-of because copy-of has to  
check namespaces. Explicit creation of elements in a namespace does  
not have to check.
