This behaviour suggests the inbuilt rules are coming into play, and
none of your templates are being invoked. Its important to remember
that default namespaces are ignored in the rules for patterns and
XPath expressions.


If you are attempting to match elements in your source XML that 
are in a particular namespace, you'll need to declare that namespace 
in your stylesheet and use it in the template rules e.g.

<xsl:template match="v1:someelement">

where you've declared v1 previously in the stylesheet, typically
on the stylesheet element, as

xmlns:v1="http://www.blah.com/test/v1";

To avoid having a declaration for v1 appearing in your stylesheet,
check out the exclude-result-prefixes attribute of the stylesheet
element.
