XSLT? XSLT 1.0 uses XPath 1.0 functions like
local-name()
name()
namespace-uri()
Docs are here:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-Node-Set-Functions>

Something like:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output mode="text" />

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:value-of select="local-name(.)" />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

or

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" />

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="gen-{local-name(.)}">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{local-name(.)}-new">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I always recommend reading a good book on XPath/XSLT if one is really
serious about learning XSLT.

Cheers,

1. I personally always go with the classic -- so this is "XSLT Programmer's
Reference" by Michael Kay -- now there's a new book under the same name
covering XSLT 2.0

2. Probably the best book for beginners is Jeni Tennison's "Beginning XSLT".
All her books are masterpieces, so I'll recommend also "XSLT and XPath on
the Edge"

3. For people, who consider themselves experts, a very useful book is Sal
Mangano's "XSLT Cookbook"

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
