If you are copying a document that uses namespace prefixes in content, for example a document containing the attribute xsi:type="xs:date", then you need to copy namespaces, otherwise a schema processor will barf on the "xs:date". In most other cases you don't need to copy them. There are some cases where you need to get rid of them (if you want to validate the result against a DTD that doesn't allow extra namespaces to be declared) and there are other cases where you want to get rid of them because they are unnecessary noise.
