Rename XMLnode in Mule flow

Question

I have a Mule flow with a XML payload like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<root type="1" name="blah">
  <blablah value="10" desc="Material" />
</root>

I want to rename the "root" node and tried using the xml-to-dom-transformer and expression component. However, I have no idea how to do that.I tried something like this that did not help:

    <expression-component><![CDATA[
      node = message.payload.getRootElement();
      node.renameNode = 'peo';
    ]]></expression-component>

Basically, I am suggesting the same approach as Anirban. But, a simpler XSLT.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
    <newRoot>
        <xsl:attribute name="type">
            <xsl:value-of select="root/@type" />
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="name">
            <xsl:value-of select="root/@name" />
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:copy-of select="root/node()" />
    </newRoot>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
