Building on JLRishe's earlier answer, you could try this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<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="*/*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri(/*)}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This would mean, each element that is not the outermost element (match="*/*") is copied to an output element with the same name, but with the namespace of the outermost element (namespace-uri(/*)).
See if that works...
