Try

<xsl:template match="document[.//link]">
  <document>
   <xsl:copy-of select="form|.//link"/>
  </document>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="document"/>

Or (more prosaically)

<xsl:template match="document">
  <xsl:if test=".//link">
   <document>
      <xsl:copy-of select="form|.//link"/>
    </document>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell
