RDF to HTML with XSLT

From: JasonBurr@-----------.---------.---

I am trying to use an xsl page to transform an rdf result set from 
musicbrainz and I can't get anything at all to return I have tried every way 
I can think of to access the relevant nodes but nothing seems to work. I have 
seen a couple of examples of xslt being used with an rdf rss news feed but 
applying the same basic code I haven't been able to get it to work. I am 
posting a snippet of the rdf/xml returned and some of the approaches I have 
taken (again none of which have worked).

Here is the reduced rdf/xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
         xmlns:dc  = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
         xmlns:mq  = "http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mq-1.1#"
         xmlns:mm  = "http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#"
         xmlns:az  = "http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/landing.html#">
  <mq:Result>
    <mq:status>OK</mq:status>
    <mm:artistList>
      <rdf:Bag>
        <rdf:li 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/artist/65314b12-0e08-43fa-ba33-baaa7b874c15"/>
      </rdf:Bag>
    </mm:artistList>

  </mq:Result>
  <mm:Artist 
rdf:about="http://musicbrainz.org/artist/65314b12-0e08-43fa-ba33-baaa7b874c15">
    <dc:title>Leonard Cohen</dc:title>
    <mm:sortName>Cohen, Leonard</mm:sortName>
    <mm:albumList>
      <rdf:Bag>
        <rdf:li 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/album/19100fb3-2b9f-4322-a165-fa72c18301da"/>
        <rdf:li 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/album/e1cbba89-c1f3-4dd4-9cce-8c05cd2f8ce8"/>
       </rdf:Bag>
    </mm:albumList>
  </mm:Artist>
  <mm:Album 
rdf:about="http://musicbrainz.org/album/19100fb3-2b9f-4322-a165-fa72c18301da">
    <dc:title>The Best of Leonard Cohen (disc 2)</dc:title>
    <dc:creator 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/artist/65314b12-0e08-43fa-ba33-baaa7b874c15"/>
    <mm:releaseType 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#TypeCompilation"/>
    <mm:releaseStatus 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#StatusOfficial"/>
    <az:Asin>B0000024TT</az:Asin>
  </mm:Album>

  <mm:Album 
rdf:about="http://musicbrainz.org/album/e1cbba89-c1f3-4dd4-9cce-8c05cd2f8ce8">
    <dc:title>Diamonds in the Mine Field</dc:title>
    <dc:creator 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/artist/65314b12-0e08-43fa-ba33-baaa7b874c15"/>
    <mm:releaseType rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#TypeLive"/>
    <mm:releaseStatus 
rdf:resource="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#StatusBootleg"/>
  </mm:Album>

</rdf:RDF>

Here are some of the approaches I have taken

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
							xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" 
							xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" 
							xmlns:mq="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mq-1.1#" 
							xmlns:mm="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#" 
							xmlns:az="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/landing.html#"
							exclude-result-prefixes="rdf dc mq mm az">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/rdf:RDF">

  <for-each select="mm:Album">
    <value-of select="dc:title"/>
  </for-each>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I also tried without the exclude and with only getting rdf: namespace items 
and with match on / and with select as "/rdf:RDF/mm:Album/dc:title" etc... ad 
nausium.

Is there something I am missing here? Is this just not possible to do?
