In an XSLT stylesheet, you can remove unwanted namespace prefixes from
output elements by adding exclude-result-prefixes="..." to the
<xsl:stylesheet> element (or other tree/branch); e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
exclude-result-prefixes="p597">

However, since the namespace prefix keeps changing, that's where it
might get complicated. I suspect it won't accept a wildcard, so you
might have to find some way of grabbing the namespace prefix.

Hope that helps a bit, and isn't half a lesson in egg-sucking,
