Your XML creates a default namespace for the document with this statement:

> <DeliveryCALetter xmlns="http://input.sire.nl/" 

In order to match or select element names in this namespace you'll need to
bind it to a prefix in your stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:in="http://input.sire.nl/"
  version="1.0">

and then use it when addressing elements within the default namespace:

  <xsl:template match="//in:soort_bestand">
    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
  </xsl:template>
