There are a few problems with the stylesheet that you sent in.

The namespace should have been
"xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";. This has been commented
out in out version. The other namespace is for a Microsoft only version of
XSL, see http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm for a description of
the difference.

The stylesheet element also needed a version="1.0" attribute to make it
valid.

The FareRules template was closing the 'Text' element before processing the
other templates.

This should do what you need.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
   <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:template match="FareRules">
      <xsl:element name="Text">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="PenRules"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="MinStay"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="MaxStay"/>
     </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="PenRules">
     <xsl:element name="PenaltyRules">
       <xsl:value-of select="."/>
     </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="MinStay">
     <xsl:element name="MinimumStay">
       <xsl:value-of select="."/>
     </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="MaxStay">
        <xsl:element name="MaximumStay">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
