XSL Transform works in MSXML 4 but not in .NET

I have a transform (a quite simple one) that transforms properly using MSXML4 (I use MarrowSfot's Xselerator to test it) 
but not when I transform the document through .NET (framework version 1.1).  I've attached sample XML and XSL that work 
in Xselerator but not in .NET.

The part that is not working (in .NET anyway) is the blog text.  Near the bottom of the XML document there is a div 
element with id="blog". The second row of the table in the div element should be displaying the text from the blogtext 
element in the xml document.  Works fine when I test it in Xselerator (using the MSXML4 engine) but that cell is empty 
when I transform it using the .NET transform engine.

Here's the function I wrote in .NET to do transforms:



         Public Function xFormDoc(xdoc       As XmlDocument, _
                                  xslDocPath As String, _
                                  xslArgs    As XsltArgumentList) As String

             Dim s As New stringwriter()
             Dim xslt as XslTransform = new XslTransform()

             Try
                 xslt.Load(xslDocPath)
                 xslt.Transform(xdoc, xslArgs, s, nothing)
             Catch e As Exception
                 xFormDoc = e.Message
                 Exit Function
             End Try

             xFormDoc = s.ToString()

         End Function



Makes me want to pull my hair out.
