Thanks for the code Kirk.

However, I am trying to think of a scenario or good reason for removing namespaces in an XML document.

See the documentation for the System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform class, namely the Transform() method.

As a follow-up, the .Namespaces=false trick I mentioned was taking advantage of a bug in a beta implementation. The .Namespaces property simply specifies whether the document is intended to support only XML 1.0, or XML 1.0 as well as XML Namespaces 1.0.

An update...

Instead of using XSLT for this task, also consider using a specialized System.Xml.XmlTextWriter.

As for "why remove namespaces from an XML document", the question comes up fairly frequently in newsgroups. The typical use case is that developers are not aware of namespaces, let alone how to query a document that includes namespaces using XPath or XSLT. The novice solution to this problem is typically "remove the namespaces", which may actually be an OK solution in some aspects.

The XmlNoNamespaceWriter mentioned here does not work if you are using the XmlTextWriter to serialize an object.

It seems that I had a blog fart and left a few bugs in there. Updated version of XmlNoNamespaceWriter at http://blogs.msdn.com/kaevans/archive/2004/08/02/206432.aspx
