A few weeks ago I posted a message (below) asking how to do an identity

contain namespace declarations. The resounding response was "no way".
[Thanks for your input!] Okay, after much testing and reading I have
convinced myself that you are correct - <xsl:copy> must be used. It
seems to me that this puts some serious limits on XSLT. Consider this
simple problem: write a stylesheet which does an identity
transformation, but where all element (local) names are converted to
upper case. For example:
XML is case-sensitive stuff, so I believe this transformation has
nothing to do with identity transformation by definition.
The more general question is: if I use <xsl:copy> to copy over an input
tree to an output tree how can I make modifications to elements names
(such as converting the local part to upper case, as shown above), and
modifications to each element's (non-namespace declaration) attributes?
Copy is just copy as is, you cannot use copy to make modifications.
