<xsl:template match="AI00010002">
<aitag>
<xsl:copy-of select="@type"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

You need to google on 'pull and push' templates!

The 'apply-templates' uses the default (implied) templates
to process the children of the element; which for text
means to copy the text from the input xml instance to the
output file, which is what you want.
