RE: What is wrong with this xsl ?

You need to declare the namespace for the SurveyML in the xslt file this example should give you some idea.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:srv="http://mmmm.mmm.edu/SurveyML">
	<xsl:output method="xml" version="4.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="srv:survey">
		<xsl:element name="survey" namespace="http://mmmm.mmm.edu/SurveyML">
			<xsl:copy-of select="@id"/>
			<xsl:copy-of select="srv:surveyInfo"/>
			<xsl:copy-of select="srv:intro"/>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="srv:section"/>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="srv:section">
		<xsl:variable name="file" select="@id"/>
		<xsl:element name="section" namespace="http://mmmm.mmm.edu/SurveyML">
			<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="$file"/></xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If your input data is like this.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<survey xmlns="http://mmmm.mmm.edu/SurveyML" id="test" version="2003-alpha" UMI="" notes="This is only a demo version of the survey!">
	<surveyInfo/>
	<intro>This survey is just a demo.</intro>
	<section id="section1">
 		.....
	</section>
	<section id="section2">
 		.....
	</section>
</survey>

Your output will apear as bellow.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<survey id="test" xmlns="http://mmmm.mmm.edu/SurveyML">
	<surveyInfo/>
	<intro>This survey is just a demo.</intro>
	<section href="section1"/>
	<section href="section2"/>
</survey>

The xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<survey xmlns="http://mmmm.mmm.edu/SurveyML"
			xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
		
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
			xsi:schemaLocation="http://cs.wmich.edu/SurveyML 
										../XMLSchema/SurveyML/SurveyML.xsd"
			id="test"
			version="2003-alpha" 
			UMI=""
			notes="This is only a demo version of the survey!"
>
	<surveyInfo>
	</surveyInfo>
	<intro>
					This survey is just a demo.
	</intro>
	<section id="testSection">
		<header>
			<title>Test section for new SurveyML</title>
			<subtitle>Test section for the new SurveyML based
on XMLSchema</subtitle>
			<intro>
				Hello world!
			</intro>
		</header>
		<question id="demo_1">
			<stem>
				Who are you?
			</stem>
			<identity id="identityDemo_1" mandatory="true" />
		</question>
	</section>
</survey>
