Hi.

1) You need to place all result elements into the same namespace. The
easiest way to do this is to simply declare the namespace globally in the
XSLT, for instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="x-schema:DD_16394.xml">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/cabinet">
	<XML_DATA_ISLAND_LOCATION>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="report"/>
	</XML_DATA_ISLAND_LOCATION>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="report">
	<report>
		<finishday>
			<xsl:value-of select="datefinish/day"/>
		</finishday>
		<finishmonth>
			<xsl:value-of select="datefinish/month"/>
		</finishmonth>
		<finishyear>
			<xsl:value-of select="datefinish/year"/>
		</finishyear>
	</report>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

2) "x-schema:DD_16394.xml" is an extremly poor choice for a namespace name,
as the URI scheme "x-schema" is proprietary to Microsoft. It's not a good
idea to wire a namespace name (which should never change unless the
vocabulary changes) directly to a vendor-specific URI schema or even a
particular XDR file.
