Remove xmlns:fm from attributes

I know this kind of question has been answered multiple times, but all the solutions I could find since yesterday didn't work for me.

I have a first XSL file which transforms "custom" XML Framemaker files to DITA file. For some reasons, I have a second XSL file which "cleans" the DITA file obtained:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

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

  <xsl:template match="*[not(@*|*|comment()|processing-instruction()) and normalize-space()='']"/>

  <xsl:template match="//title/text()[normalize-space()]">
   <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="//title/text()[not(normalize-space())]" />

  <xsl:template match="table//footnote"><fn><xsl:value-of select="."/></fn></xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="//para"><p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p></xsl:template>

  </xsl:stylesheet>

Here's a snippet of the output XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.2 Topic//EN" "../../dtd/technicalContent/dtd/topic.dtd">
<topic id="Interfaces">
<title>Interfaces</title>
<body>
  <table xmlns:fm="fctfmns.xml" frame="all" colsep="1" rowsep="1">
     <tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="1" outputclass="General">
        <colspec colnum="1" colname="1" colwidth="34*"/>
        <colspec colnum="2" colname="2" colwidth="66*"/>
        <thead>

But the wanted output would be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.2 Topic//EN" "../../dtd/technicalContent/dtd/topic.dtd">
<topic id="Interfaces">
<title>Interfaces</title>
<body>
  <table frame="all" colsep="1" rowsep="1">
     <tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="1" outputclass="General">
        <colspec colnum="1" colname="1" colwidth="34*"/>
        <colspec colnum="2" colname="2" colwidth="66*"/>
        <thead>

So I want the "attribute" xmlns:fm="fctfmns.xml" to be removed. But it seems like it's impossible with all the solutions I tried to include in the cleaning XSL:

<xsl:template match="@xmlns:fm">

doesn't work, and so do its derivates (with name()). I also tried to declare xmlns:fm in xsl:stylesheet and to exclude prefix fm, but it didn't work either.

The weirdest thing is that <xsl:template match="@*"> removes all the attributes, but not xmlns:fm.

EDIT :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!ENTITY nbsp "&#xa0;">]>

                </tbody>
            </tgroup>
        </table>
    </topic>
</module>
</chapter>

(Desired output is written above)

Please note that the xmlns:fm namespace is in the module element in the input, but depending on the solutions I test, the xmlns:fm namespace appears either in the table, topic, title, or most often in the tgroup element.

Assuming you really use an XSLT 2.0 processor and the namespace declaration is copied from your input you can change the template 

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

to

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

See http://xsltransform.net/jyRYYhX for an example where the input has the namespace declaration while the output not because the xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no" has not copied it.

With XSLT 1.0 you can use

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*">
  <xsl:attribute name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

instead of 

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

The problem with your approach is that you are copying the entire table as is - and this also copies all namespaces that are in scope at that point.

To avoid this, replace this:

<xsl:template match="table">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

with:

<xsl:template match="table"> 
    <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="remove-namespaces"/>
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="*" mode="remove-namespaces">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="remove-namespaces"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Note: this is referring to the stylesheet you have posted at http://xsltransform.net/ncdD7kZ - which is very different from the one in your question.
