You've forgot to add the FO namespace. Check the header of your
stylesheet:

 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
                version='1.0'>

The usual approach is to write a customization layer. Here you can find
how to do it:

http://doccookbook.sourceforge.net/html/en/dbc.common.dbcustomize.html
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer

Add in your customization layer an empty answer template like this:

 <xsl:template match="answer"/>

Whenever you process your document with your own customization layer,
all the answers will be suppressed.


Hope that answers you question. :-)
