In your stylesheet, all your references to element names in the
source document are using no namespace.

For example,

<xsl:value-of select="/VisioDocument/Pages/Page/Shapes"/>
(actual path shortened for brevity)

means 

"create a text node using the string-value of the first node
in the node-set consisting of:
  elements named 'Shapes' (in no namespace)
  that are children of elements named 'Page' (in no namespace)
    that are children of elements named 'Pages' (in no namespace)
      that are children of elements named 'VisioDocument' (same)
        that are children of the root node"

In your stylesheet you have already bound the prefix 'user' to the
URI you need, so all you need to do is use it:

<xsl:value-of select="/user:VisioDocument/user:Pages/user:Page/user:Shapes"/>
