Google for "XSLT default namespace" and you'll find lots of advice on this.
The short answer is: your elements are in a namespace, so to select them you
need to use prefixed names in your match patterns and path expressions, with
a prefix (any prefix will do) that's bound to that namespace.

Subject: [xsl] XSLT Newbie - Need help with DOCTYPE,
namespaces, and stuff
Hi everyone,
I'm making a XSLT stylesheet for XML files for SMF
(simplemachines.org) modifications. Even though the XSLT
stylesheet looks correct, it doesn't seem to work with the
XML files. However, when I comment out the doctype (and
remove the xmlns="" from the root element), the XSLT
stylesheet works fine.
Here's what the XML file looks like normally:
===
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="package-info.xsl"
type="text/xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE package-info SYSTEM
"http://www.simplemachines.org/xml/package-info";>
<package-info
xmlns="http://www.simplemachines.org/xml/package-info";
xmlns:smf="http://www.simplemachines.org/";>
...
</package-info>
===
And here's how I edited it to make it work:
===
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="package-info.xsl"
type="text/xsl"?>
<package-info>
...
</package-info>
===
My question is, how do I make it work with XML files that
have the doctype and xmlns defined?
The XSLT stylesheet was originally made using Dreamweaver 8,
but I eventually recoded most of it in a plain text editor.
XSLT stylesheet:
http://server.daniel15.com/smf/xml/xslt/package-info.xsl
Working XML file:
http://dev.dansoftaustralia.net/svn/modparser/trunk/xslt/packa
ge-info.xml
Non-working XML file:
http://dev.dansoftaustralia.net/svn/modparser/trunk/xslt/packa
ge-info2.xml
Thanks :)
