Well that "hack" is certainly not necessary if you learn to write XSLT 
1.0 stylesheet dealing with default namespace declarations. So instead 
of removing the xmlns declaration with string processing you would need 
to fix your XSLT stylesheet to bind a prefix to that namespace and use 
that prefix in XPath expressions and in XSLT match patterns to qualify 
element names e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0"
   xmlns:dc="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/EDIM.DataContracts"
   exclude-result-prefixes="dc">

   <!-- now use prefix 'dc' in expressions and patterns -->

   <xsl:template match="dc:foo">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="dc:bar/">
   <xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="dc:bar">
     <xsl:value-of select="dc:baz"/>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:template>

So basically, in your stylesheet you need to replace all unqualified 
element names 'foo' by 'dc:foo'. That way your stylesheet would work 
without any need to preprocess the XML input with string replacement.

If you don't understand what I am suggesting above then post your XML 
input and your stylesheet, then we can show you how to fix that.
