Using XSLT to transform XHTML to XHTML

From: WilliamRayer@-----------.---------.---

Dear XSL newsgroup

I have input XHTML (indirectly produced from MS Word) and I am using XSLT to 
produce an output XHTML document. The input XHTML contains many topics, the 
transform selects one topic of interest and the output XHTML can be displayed 
as a web page. I have ensured the input is well-formed and valid.

In the transform I am trying to produce all my XHTML by means of a single 
<xsl:template match="/"> which includes all the output <html> ... </html> 
elements. My problem is that within the <xsl:template match="/"> element, all 
use of xsl:value-of seems incapable of retrieving anything from the input 
XHTML. Here are the documents:

----------------input.xhtml-------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">  
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Fruits</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Apples</h1>
    <p>Round fruits that grow on trees.</p>
    <h1>Bananas</h1>
    <p>Yellow fruits that grow in clumps.</p>
  </body>
</html>
----------------input.xhtml-------------------


----------------transform.xslt-------------------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml xsl">
 
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" 
  doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
  doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <head>
  <title> Title: <xsl:value-of select="xhtml:title"/> </title>
  </head>
  <body> Body: <xsl:value-of select="xhtml:p"/> </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
----------------transform.xslt-------------------


-------------output.html------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
		<title> Title: </title>
	</head>
	<body> Body: </body>
</html>
-------------output.html------------


Although the output is valid it's not picking up the xhtml:title or xhtml:p 
elements from the input. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards
Will Rayer
