that is the element with local name Schema in the namespace
urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data

That matches an element with local name Schema in the null namespace,
which isn't the same thing at all.

You want:

<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
xmlns:xd="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data">

	<xsl:template match="/xd:Schema">

No you can not generate namespace declarations with xsl:attribute.
In any case you do not want to as the xsl:copy copies the element
name (which includes the namespace name) and so a Namespace declaration
for the namespace will be added automatically.

Same for all your other xsl:attribute commands.
