This isn't going to work; this will match 'title' elements that are in the
empty namespace. The default namespace that you set in the xsl:stylesheet
element is only going to affect literal result elements, of which your
stylesheet has none. The match patterns will not be affected.
Anand needs to do this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
...
<xsl:template match="xhtml:title">
