I have a document that looks like:

That isn't well-formed so it isn't XML ... do you mean
<result>
<filed name="xpto"><elem>Hello</elem></filed>
</result>
If so, it is a small change to your stylesheet:
I tried:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="filed">
<xsl:element name="filed">
You are missing the preservation of the name attribute:
<xsl:copy-of select="@name"/>
<xsl:value-of select ="@value"/>
Change the above to:
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@value"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
but entities are not resolved. Any idea?
Resolved? The entities represent text characters and in your old
stylesheet they went out as text characters so they had to be escaped. By
turning off escaping you get what you want, but two caveats:
(1) - a processor is not obliged to respect d-o-e=
(2) - you can produce a non-well-formed result that isn't XML if you
have "bad" data in your text of your input
If you avoid d-o-e= then your output will *always* be well-formed XML.
I hope this helps.
