XSL problems are best directed to XSL-List at
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list.

That isn't a well-formed XML document. It has two elements at the top
level of the document - the doc element and the xsl:stylesheet
element. This is main cause of your problem. You also need to specify
that the id attribute on the xsl:stylesheet element is an ID
attribute. You could instead try:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="#myStyle"  type="text/xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE wrapper [
<!ATTLIST xsl:stylesheet id ID #REQUIRED>
]>
<wrapper>
  <doc>Hello</doc>
  <xsl:stylesheet id="myStyle"
                  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                  version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet" />
    <xsl:template match="doc">
      <out><xsl:apply-templates /></out>
    </xsl:template>
  </xsl:stylesheet>
</wrapper>

I hope that helps,

Jeni
