you may know that (and call it the root element) but xpath doesn't know 
that (and doesn't call the topmost element the root either) so

it selects descendants of the _current node_ and if (as sounds like it 
is the case) the current node deesn't have any ead children, it will 
select nothing. you want select="/ead....
