Copy all Attributes [Not only values of attributes but whole list of attributes] of an element

I have a scenario where i want to copy all the attributes including namespaces [Here I mean the entire attribute list and namespace list and not just the values of the attributes] from an XML tag in the input XML.

For Ex:

Input XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<enricher>
    <result>
        <xbrl xmlns="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance" 
        xmlns:idp-com="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1" 
        xmlns:idp-enumcom="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Enumeration/Common/Vers1" 
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Product/Common/Vers1 ../Common/ProductCommonTaxonomy.xsd 
        http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1 ../../Data/Common/CommonTaxonomy.xsd">
            <context id="defaultI">
                <entity>
                    <identifier scheme="http://www.dnb.com">Text</identifier>
                </entity>
                <period>
                    <instant>2000-07-14</instant>
                </period>
            </context>
        </xbrl>
    </result>
</enricher>

Output XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<enricher>
    <result>
        <xbrlresp xmlns="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance" 
        xmlns:idp-com="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1" 
        xmlns:idp-enumcom="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Enumeration/Common/Vers1" 
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Product/Common/Vers1 ../Common/ProductCommonTaxonomy.xsd 
        http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1 ../../Data/Common/CommonTaxonomy.xsd">
            <context id="defaultI">
                <entity>
                    <identifier scheme="http://www.dnb.com">Text</identifier>
                </entity>
                <period>
                    <instant>2000-07-14</instant>
                </period>
            </context>
        </xbrlresp>
    </result>
</enricher>

The output should have the <xbrlresp> tag with all the namespaces and attributes of the <xbrl>.

Extending the answer from Matthias, if, for aesthetic reasons, you want to copy the namespace declarations of the xbrl element onto the new element you're creating, you can do this using

<xsl:template match="xb:xbrl">
  <xsl:element name="xbrlresp" namespace="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance">
    <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*" />
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

The copy-of copies the namespace nodes from the input xbrl element onto the generated xbrlresp, which should result in the serializer adding the namespace declarations.

EDIT: After you have revealed the actual problem, I have also changed the stylesheet. Again, your input is not well-formed XML because a namespace is not defined:

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

XML Input

<enricher>
    <result>
        <xbrl xmlns="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:idp-com="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1" 
        xmlns:idp-enumcom="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Enumeration/Common/Vers1" 
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Product/Common/Vers1 ../Common/ProductCommonTaxonomy.xsd 
        http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1 ../../Data/Common/CommonTaxonomy.xsd">
            <context id="defaultI">
                <entity>
                    <identifier scheme="http://www.dnb.com">Text</identifier>
                </entity>
                <period>
                    <instant>2000-07-14</instant>
                </period>
            </context>
        </xbrl>
    </result>
</enricher>

XSLT Stylesheet

The stylesheet is a simple identity transformation with an exception, namely replacing the xbrl element with a new one.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
    xmlns:xb="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance">

    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
    <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />

    <xsl:template match="xb:xbrl">
      <xsl:element name="xbrlresp" namespace="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
      </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

XML Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<enricher>
   <result>
      <xbrlresp xmlns="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Product/Common/Vers1 ../Common/ProductCommonTaxonomy.xsd          http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1 ../../Data/Common/CommonTaxonomy.xsd">
         <context xmlns="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance" xmlns:idp-com="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Vers1" xmlns:idp-enumcom="http://www.dnb.com/IDP/Common/Enumeration/Common/Vers1" id="defaultI">
            <entity>
               <identifier scheme="http://www.dnb.com">Text</identifier>
            </entity>
            <period>
               <instant>2000-07-14</instant>
            </period>
         </context>
      </xbrlresp>
   </result>
</enricher>
