Perhaps you are forgetting that unprefixed names in XPath 1.0 expressions do not utilize the default namespace and are always assumed to be in no namespace ... even if your source document is using the default namespace.
If an element in your source node tree is using any namespace, you are obliged to prefix the node name in XPath 1.0 expressions.
I hope this helps.

I would love to know how to get a value for my <TITLE> tag. What am I doing wrong, or misunderstanding?
