Questions about xslt issues are best asked on the Mulberry xslt 
discussion list at

http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

The reason you cannot "copy" the namespace declaration is that 
technically it is not an attribute in the xpath model, so an attempt to 
"copy" a namespace declaration as an attribute cannot succeed.  However, 
you need only to declare the namespace in the xslt stylesheet - you can 
put the declaration into the xsl:stylesheet element.   So just add

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

to the namespace declarations in the stylesheet element and all should 
be well.
