I've been tearing the hair out of my head trying to prevent the output of the "environment" attribute.
Can somebody out there help
Cannot exclude attribute from transformation output.

Sorry, but in your XSLT you explicitly allow an element with this attribute to be copied into output:
<xsl:if test="not(@environment) or @environment=$myEnvironment">

xsl:copy-of copies element with all its attributes and content.
If you want more control use xsl:copy instructions and copy manually whatever you want inside it.
