Then XML Spy has a bug. Modify the match pattern in your template as
follows:
<xsl:template match="IN">
<GRAPH>
<xsl:copy-of select="GRAPH/svg:svg" xmlns:svg="
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/>
</GRAPH>
</xsl:template>
Since the svg element in your source file is in the namespace
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg, you must make sure you are matching on the same
namespace.
