[xsl] xhtml DOCTYPE problem

Subject: [xsl] xhtml DOCTYPE problem

I have a simple xhtml document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
  <head>
    <title>my title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
	<p>para</p>
  </body>
</html>

Following template only outputs an emptye <test/>:

<xsl:template match="/">
	<test>
	<xsl:value-of select="html/head/title"/>
	</test>
</xsl:template>

If I remove the DOCTYPE and the xmlns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>my title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
	<p>para</p>
  </body>
</html>

I get what I expect: <test>my title</test>

Can anybody explain this to me?

Notes:
-I tried this with both xalan and saxon
-I had to change the DOCTYPE to SYSTEM and store the dtd locally, otherwise
the xslt-processor cannot find it.


Thanks
