Your problem is almost undoubtedly here:

<xsl:for-each select="node()"> ... </xsl:for-each>

This says to select all child nodes for processing. Your source data 
snippet suggests that you have text nodes mixed in with the <values> 
elements you want:

>                 <possibleValues>
>                         <values>image</values>
>                         <values>webpage</values>
>                         <values>text</values>
>                         <values>number</values>
>                         <values>money</values>
>                         <values>animal</values>
>                         <values>mojo</values>
> </possibleValues>

Notice each <values> element is preceded by a line feed plus some leading 
whitespace. These text nodes (which contain nothing but white space) are 
getting selected, and input boxes created for them.

Either use xsl:strip-space to remove these text nodes from your input tree, 
or write for-each select="values", and the problem should clear up.

I hope that helps,
Wendell
