xmlns (flawed XML?) (edited)

Friends,
[The last e-mail I sent had an example with more than one record (XML
document) in it. Sorry.]

I am having trouble trying to figure out why I cannot seem to write a
stylesheet for this XML document.

I suspect that the XML is not correct.

Please take a look at it (below).

My hunch is that it needs one or both of the following:
  i) DOCTYPE statement pointing to a Schema or a DTD
  ii) namespace prefix for the elements.
