Your example document had a document element called root with 
child elements called topic, but your XSL template for
/ has a for-each selecting 
       <xsl:for-each select="channel_list/topic">
which won't select anything as the child elemnt of / is called root
not channel_list.


also your root template never calls apply-templates so the other
templates in the styplesheet that you define can never possibly have any
effect.
