i have to remove namespace declarations in certain elements. i.e. i have this one:

<Facts xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/HTML/1998/html4" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<lotOfElements/>
</Facts>

and i want to get this one:

<Facts>
  <lotOfElements/>
</Facts>

i can't manage to get there. even when i try to remove all attributes

from the element

<xsl:template match="Facts">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

does not remove these unnecessary namespaces.

Or, if you are using XSLT 2.0, I think you can do e.g.
  <xsl:template match="Facts">
    <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
