It is easy, start with the identity transformation template
   <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
then add templates that transform your elements as needed e.g. if you 
want to map 'record' elements to 'item' elements you add
   <xsl:temlate match="record">
     <item>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
     </item>
   </xsl:template>
