Walk the entire tree-structure of the original XML document (with the p
prefix). While doing that, copy each node and make a copy of the original
XML. But use the getLocalName method/attribute instead of the getNodeName
(the actual method names may be spelled a little differently, though).

Or use an XSL transformation do to the same.
