[xsl] Simple style sheet erroring on Dita fle

["russurquhart1@xxxxxxxxxxx russurquhart1@xxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
It's been awhile but I have the opportunity to get back to xslt land.
I have a small xslt:
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"B xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";><xsl:output
method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
<!-- identity transform --><xsl:template match="@*|node()">B  B  <xsl:copy>B 
B  B  B  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>B  B 
</xsl:copy></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="entry/p[1]">B B  B 
<xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>B 
</xsl:stylesheet>
That removes the first <p> element in an entry element.
When i try this on a DITA xml file I get:


russurquhart_boomiB ~/Downloads/SaxonHE11-4JB B $ java -jar saxon-he-11.4.jar
-t -s:Cloud_Object.xml -xsl:rem_para.xsl -o:Cloud_Object_Out.xml

The DITA file is kind of long but I can attach it if needed. I was hoping
someone could provide some insight on this?
Thanks,
