I haven't been able to find what this means anywhere on the internet, my assumption is it means ancestor?

I'm writing my code in the <xsl:template match="/"> section. should it be somewhere else so I don't have to use a:?

This is my XML doc up to the end of the DTD

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="transformers.xslt"?>
<!DOCTYPE orders2 [
<!ELEMENT orders2 (storeInfo,order+)>
<!ATTLIST orders2 xmlns CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT storeInfo (storename,location)>
<!ELEMENT storename (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT location (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT order (date,discount?,orderItem+)>
<!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA) >
<!ELEMENT discount (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT orderItem (costper,quantity,product)>
<!ELEMENT costper (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT quantity (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT product (#PCDATA)>
]>

in the xslt I have to do the following to procduce data:

<xsl:for-each select="a:orders2/a:order">

or <xsl:value-of select="a:date"/>

This is a namespace prefix. If your xml document has xmlns="somewebsite.com", you have to specfically use that url in your xsl as well. eg. xmlns:a="somewebsite.com" then find a:someelement.
