x was just a namespace that I used to be able to embed the mapping elements into the stylesheets. You need to declare e.g. xmlns:x="x".

This will not work, as a stylesheet cannot contain elements in null-namespace. Add the namespace prefix and declare the namespace—makes no difference what the URI is (as long as it isn't XSLT's namespace URI).
