Or:

  <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace-uri="{namespace-uri()}">
    ...
  </xsl:element>

if you want to maintain the namespace of the element... and also to
get it to work (you need {}s so that name() is evaluated rather than
the processor trying to use it as the name of the element and
barfing).
