The elements "foo" and "meta" are in the default
namespace, i.e. in the "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml".
Therefore, you have to declare a namespace having that
URI in the test.xsl, say, like this:

...
<xsl:template match="/files">
	<cc:myDoc
		xmlns:cc="stuff.com"
		xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
	
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
		xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
			>
	<cc:indexList>

....

and then change the XPath expressions to extract the
values correctly:

...
  <display-title><xsl:value-of
select="$extNode/cc:head/xhtml:foo"/></display-title>
  <keywords><xsl:value-of
select="$extNode/cc:head/xhtml:meta[@name='keywords']/@content"/>
...
