Here's that program you quote:

> (define doc
>   (let ((port (open-input-file "target.xml")))
>     (let ((doc (SSAX:XML->SXML port '())))
>       (close-input-port port)

The last line is the reason you get no output for your documents. The
above program does _two_ things. First, the program parses the
document and binds its SXML representation to the variable 'doc'. The
function 'main' selects text strings from the children of the '<doc>'
element(s), using SXPath. In your XML document, there are no '<doc>'
XML elements. Therefore, the SXPath expression selects nothing --
which is the answer you get.

If you just wish to see the document after parsing, you may want to
write the main function as

(define (main argv)
  (pp doc))
