I suppose you are missing something like:

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('record.xml')/*" />

the match itself in your code is correct for either. Can you send 
something more of your code? In addition, look through your stylesheet 
for something like match="/Records" or something like 
match="Records[@id]" which both may have a higher precedence which can 
be a reason for not matching 'Records' in the first place.

Another way to try your code is (carefully) replacing your 
apply-templates with copy-of to see if you really select something in 
apply-templates, or that you have some error in the namespace prefix, 
the absence of one, or anything else that can be a cause of 
non-selection (missing CamelCase?).
