add a tag to xml with xsl

Hi, i have the below xml

<L1>
      <Captions>
        <Caption id="A">
          <b>Income</b>
        </Caption>
        <Caption id="B">
          <b>Month:</b>
        </Caption>
     </Captions>
   
</L1>
 
 
 
i am trying to get the xml as below (get the tag <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">  </body> around Caption id="A" )
 
<L1>
      <Captions>
        <Caption id="A">
          <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">  
          <b>Income</b></body>
        </Caption>
        <Caption id="B">
          <b>Month:</b>
        </Caption>
     </Captions>
   
</L1>
 
the xsl i am using is
 
<xsl:template match="L1/Captions/Caption[@id ='A']">
  <xsl:copy>
    <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
    </body>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
 
but its removing the id="A" inside the <caption>
 
its getting the xml as below
 
 
<L1>
      <Captions>
        <Caption>
          <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><b>Income</b></body>
        </Caption>
        <Caption id="B">
          <b>Month:</b>
        </Caption>
     </Captions>
   
</L1>

You need to add
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
After the xsl:copy tag
In order to copy all the attributes
