Assuming your original file is actually well-formed, ie. a Source element as 
the root element then I would look at identity template, but how do the 
mappings work, is AAA always turned into DDD etc?

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Source">
<Destination>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</Destination>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="AAA">
<DDD>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</DDD>
</xsl:template>
<!-- other override templates here -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
