No, it does nothing. Since you've defined rules for all node types (except
namespaces) and since your stylesheet has no instructions that output
anything, it's easy to see that this stylesheet produces no output.

There's an example of an identity stylesheet in the XSLT Recommendation
under <xsl:copy> if I remember right.
