Adding a namespace to a nested element

I have some XML similar to this:

<envelope xmlns="http://test">
  <header>
    <msgId />
  </header>
  <body>
    <element1 />
  </body>
</envelope>

I want to add a namespace to the <element1> node. Can anyone help me how to do this with XSLT?

Use Attribute Value Templates with name()

<xsl:template match="element1">
  <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="http://other-namespace">
  …

with identity transformation will give you

<envelope xmlns="http:\\test">
  <header>
    <msgId/>
  </header>
  <body>
    <element1 xmlns="http://other-namespace"/>
    …
