Re: unnecessary soap elements

    <!--
	 - Any tag not addressed by a more specific
	 - template match is copied unchanged. (This
	 - preserves the ph_dispatchmsg tags.)
	 -->
	<!-- Here we dump out the rest of the message tags-->

	<xsl:template match="node()|@*">

Note that the comments are misleading: XSLT has no access to the tags in
the source file (don't use tag to mean element, they mean different
things)

However that does copy all elements, as you say.



You also have
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

(which isn't strictly needed as it's the same as the default, but that
 starts processing at the top level element, which is therefore
 copied.

If you want to start processing somewhere else, do for example

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="soap:Envelope/soap:Body/*"/>
    </xsl:template>
 

  <xsl:template match="Body/urn:SubmitRequestResponse">

That would match an element SubmitRequestResponse in namespace
urn:Fiserv.CWS
that was a child of an element Body in no-namespace.
There is no such element in your source, as the only Body element is in
teh soap namespace. i think you just want

  <xsl:template match="urn:SubmitRequestResponse">


Note you are using a very verbose style which makes it hard to see what
your code is doing, for example
	 <xsl:element name="status">
	     <xsl:attribute name="code"><xsl:value-of
select="$code"/></xsl:attribute>
	 </xsl:element>

could be written

  <status code="{$code}"/>

and in fact you don't really need the code parameter either you could
just do
 <status code="{urn:SubmitRequestResult/fi:fiAPI/fi:Response/fi:Status/fi:StatusCode}"/>
