I have no idea what your XSLT is trying to do, and your specified output 
is not well-formed XML.

To get the output I think you mean, use:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="Type">
    <xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    <xsl:text> Desc="</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::Desc"/>
    <xsl:text>"/>&#x000A;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Desc"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
