That worked, thanks so much!
I am overriding code that I don't know much about, but it is converting and
merging XHTML, and indeed, at the top the stylesheet I'm overriding it has this
attribute:
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
So I pulled down from my shelf the big fat book by Mr. Kay[1] and looked up
this attribute. Page 480 has a nice description of this problem and a fix. So I
changed to the null namespace on my xsl:message element like this and now XPath
will read successfully from my non-namespaced external file:
FTITLE:
(if that doesn't come through because of angle brackets, here it is without
them:)
xsl:message xpath-default-namespace="" FTITLE: xsl:value-of
select="$testxml//ishfield[@name='FTITLE']" / /xsl:message
Thanks very much!

I suspected a namespace issue, too, but the ishobjects XML seems to be in no
namespace, see for example

So check for an xpath-default-namespace declaration, which would stop the code
working on no-namespace input.
