How to remove namespace from root-element

Question

Hi Gurus,
I want one xml output from xslt transformation with no namespace. I managed to remove namespace from child elements by leveraging elementFormDefault ='unqualified' property of xsd. But not able remove namespace from root-element.
Output that I want is :
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<inp1:Email_Mod_Root>
   <Email_Mod_Root_Element>
      <Email_Record1>
         <PERSON_NUMBER>123456</PERSON_NUMBER>
         <COUNTRY/>
          <EMAIL_TYPE>WORK</EMAIL_TYPE>
         <EMAIL>EMAIL3</EMAIL>
         <PRIMARY_FLAG>Y</PRIMARY_FLAG>
      </Email_Record1>
</Email_Mod_Root_Element>
</Email_Mod_Root>
Output that I am getting:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<inp1:Email_Mod_Root xmlns:inp1="http://www.example.org">
   <Email_Mod_Root_Element>
      <Email_Record1>
         <PERSON_NUMBER>123456</PERSON_NUMBER>
         <COUNTRY/>
         <EMAIL_TYPE>WORK</EMAIL_TYPE>
         <EMAIL>EMAIL3</EMAIL>
         <PRIMARY_FLAG>Y</PRIMARY_FLAG>
      </Email_Record1>
</Email_Mod_Root_Element>
</Email_Mod_Root>
Anyone, pls suggest.
Thanks in advance,

First of all :
<inp1:Email_Mod_Root>
   <Email_Mod_Root_Element>
      <Email_Record1>
         <PERSON_NUMBER>123456</PERSON_NUMBER>
         <COUNTRY/>
          <EMAIL_TYPE>WORK</EMAIL_TYPE>
         <EMAIL>EMAIL3</EMAIL>
         <PRIMARY_FLAG>Y</PRIMARY_FLAG>
      </Email_Record1>
</Email_Mod_Root_Element>
</Email_Mod_Root>
isn't valid xml (you start with inp1: prefix and you end the tag with no prefix, but let's assume you don't want any prefix/namespace at all)
if i use :
[code]
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:inp1="http://www.example.org" exclude-result-prefixes="inp1">
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name(.)}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="{local-name(.)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[/code]
i get this
[code]
<Email_Root_Element>
  <Email_Record>
  <EMPLID>EMPLID46</EMPLID>
  <EMAIL>EMAIL48</EMAIL>
  <E_ADDR_TYPE>E_ADDR_TYPE49</E_ADDR_TYPE>
  <COUNTRY>US</COUNTRY>
  </Email_Record>
  <Email_Record>
  <EMPLID>EMPLID47</EMPLID>
  <EMAIL>EMAIL49</EMAIL>
  <E_ADDR_TYPE>E_ADDR_TYPE50</E_ADDR_TYPE>
  <COUNTRY>US</COUNTRY>
  </Email_Record>
  <Email_Record>
  <EMPLID>EMPLID48</EMPLID>
  <EMAIL>EMAIL49</EMAIL>
  <E_ADDR_TYPE>E_ADDR_TYPE51</E_ADDR_TYPE>
  <COUNTRY>US</COUNTRY>
  </Email_Record>
</Email_Root_Element>
