Hank,
If you want to use a : in the tag name, be sure to include a namespace
declaration in the output XML.  Or use a different character, which is
what I did in the example below.  It seemed to work in my test,
someone else may have another (better?) way of doing it.

<xsl:template match="/">
 		<xsl:call-template name="chName" />	
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="chName">
	<xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="not(self::*)">
			<xsl:value-of select="." />
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:when test="self::*">
 			<xsl:variable name="elname" select="concat('xsl_', name())" />
	 		<xsl:element name="{$elname}"> 
				<xsl:call-template name="chName" />
			</xsl:element>
		</xsl:when>
	</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:for-each> 
</xsl:template>

Let me know how it works
