[xsl] Namespace problem

I'm trying to apply a simple transformation to the file below, and for some reason I'm unable to get any nodes returned.  I think it may be a namespace issue.  I'm totally stumped, and losing hair.

apply this XPath:  //item

should return a nodeset of items


the XML:

any ideas?  I'm quite sure it's got to be something very simple eluding me.  I'm using MSXML 4.0 parser.
