Ah, tricky that one.  The DOCTYPE above adds an implicit namespace
declaration to the SVG markup.  So, the stylesheet fails to match
"text[.='anchorA']" because it is looking for a <text> element in no
namespace, while the <text> element in infile.svg is in the SVG
namespace. So what you can do is to change your stylesheet by adding
a namespace declaration for SVG:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

and add the prefix to your xpath expression:

<xsl:template match="svg:text[.='anchorA']">

(and the generated element: <svg:text><xsl:value=of .../></svg:text>)

In fact, perhaps you also want the attributes of <text> copied over. In
that case use:

<xsl:template match="svg:text[.='anchorA']">
 <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
 <svg:text><xsl:value-of
select="document('text.xml')/texts/txt[@id='anchorA']"/></text>
</xsl:template>

Max.
