Re: [xsl] Namespace match error. XSL to convert attribute-centric to element-centric.

You need to create the namespace for the element too:

<xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
 ...

Also - do you really want to convert the root element attributes to
elements?  I would've thought you would want to just copy that across,
eg modify your root node matching template to match the root element
instead, copy it across then process its children :

<xsl:template match="/*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
