When you do not see the behavior you expect, consult the specs.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#value-of

"The xsl:value-of element is instantiated to create a text node in the
result tree. The required select attribute is an expression; this
expression is evaluated and the resulting object is converted to a string
as if by a call to the string function."

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-string

"The string function converts an object to a string as follows: 
A node-set is converted to a string by returning the string-value of the
node in the node-set that is first in document order."

So that is why xsl:value-of only gets the value of the first EXPIRE.

This:

<xsl:for-each select="//EXPIRE">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

...is probably not exactly what you want, but you only asked for a hint :)
