This says "for each paragraph, apply templates to its paragraph
element children". From the looks of it, you don't have nested
paragraphs, so probably what you were after was actually:

<xsl:template match="bios">
  <xsl:for-each select="bio">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="name"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

(BTW, what did you upgrade from?)

Cheers,

Jeni
