you are trying to match elements which reside in the (default) xhtml
namespace
add a namespace declaration to your stylesheet element and you should be
fine:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="..." xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
...
and then change your pattern to:
<xsl:value-of select="xhtml:html/xhtml:head/xhtml:title"/>

There's a number of work-arounds for that, but largely depending on your
setup.
