Yes, the spec is currently very unclear, and for some reason in SAXON I made
different decisions for xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of.

xsl:copy when the current node is a namespace node will copy the namespace
node to the result tree.

xsl:copy-of when the selected node-set includes a namespace node does
nothing.

So you could try
<xsl:for-each select="namespace::*"><xsl:copy/></xsl:for-each>
