RE: <xsl:element name="input">

When I run your stylesheet with the current XT I get this output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html>
  <body>
    <input type="text" name=""/>
  </body>
</html>

The <input> element is closed, but since it has no content there is </input>
tag.

If you are REALLY need to force a </input> tag to appear, add a
preserve-space element at the top level for input, and some blank text
inside the <input> output element:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml"/>
    <xsl:preserve-space elements="input"/>  <!-- *** here *** -->
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <html>
            <body>
                <xsl:element name="input">
                  <xsl:attribute name="type">text</xsl:attribute>
                  <xsl:attribute name="name">
                    <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
                  </xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:text> </xsl:text>   <!-- *** here *** -->
                </xsl:element>
            </body>
        </html>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
