Anyway, the dtd is here:
wherein we find:
<!ENTITY % ESJA.xmlns "'http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd'" >
<!ENTITY % top-level.att
"xmlns CDATA #FIXED %ESJA.xmlns;
which means that every element is in http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd
(or at least i assume that applies to every element, I didn't actually
read much of the dtd)
Assuming that's right it means that a source element that looks like
<title>
is really
<title xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd";>
which means that a match of "title" or a select of /foo/bar/title
will not find it, as they are looking for no-namespace.
you need on teh xsl:stylesheet element
xmlns:e="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd";
(or any other prefix that is free if e: is taken)
then have
match="e:title"
select="/e:foo/e:/bar/e:/title"
etc.
In XPath 1 you have to prefix any elements in a namespace.
Xpath/xslt2 drafts allow you to say that the default namespace for
Xpath is "http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd"; then your original would
work, but XSLT2 is not yet a done deal.
