Just take a stylesheet that does the identity transform, add one extra
template and you are done. (or two since your example output also
junked the submittedvalues element)


===================================================
  <xml>
    <submittedValues>
      <submittedValue fieldname='title'>mr.</submittedValue>
    </submittedValues>

    <display>
      <p>
        title:<input type='text' fieldname='title' value=''/>
      </p>
    </display>
  </xml>
===================================================
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0"
                >

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<!-- copy most stuff -->
<xsl:template match="*" >
 <xsl:copy>
 <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- modify input -->
<xsl:template match="input" >
 <xsl:copy>
 <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
 <xsl:attribute name="value">
  <xsl:value-of
 select="//submittedValue[@fieldname=current()/@fieldname]"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- junk this -->
<xsl:template match="submittedValues" />

</xsl:stylesheet>
===================================================


bash$ xt r.xml r.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
    

    <display>
      <p>
        title:<input type="text" fieldname="title" value="mr."/>
      </p>
    </display>
  </xml>
