XSLT to remove an Element's value based on attribute value using namespaced xpath

using question1 and question2 I am able to remove an Element's value based on attribute value using XSLT on non-namespaced XML But my input looks like this

<tns:message xmlns:tns="http://www.co.com/schemas/sys">
   <Body xmlns="http://co.com/message">
      <Record xmlns="http://schemas.co.com/Record/1.0">
         <Book Class="NOVEL">Jungle Book</Book>
         <Book Class="AUTOBIOGRAPHY">The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin</Book>
      </Record>
   </Body>
</tns:message>

I have tried to use XSLT

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msg="http://co.com/message"
xmlns:rec="http://schemas.co.com/Record/1.0">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="msg:Body/rec:Record/Book[@Class = 'NOVEL']/text()" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

But no luck.
When I have added namespace prefixes into input then it has worked.
Thank you in advance.

Default namespaces (without a prefix) are inherited. That means that the Book elements in your input are in the same namespace as their parent Record - and you need to change this:

<xsl:template match="msg:Body/rec:Record/Book[@Class = 'NOVEL']/text()" />

to:

<xsl:template match="msg:Body/rec:Record/rec:Book[@Class = 'NOVEL']/text()" />
