There's not much anyone can tell you without seeing how you construct
the parameter's nodeset value.  At a guess, if the "title" element is
qualified, you probably want

 	<xsl:value-of select="$pageNode/ws:title"/>

The point here is that you have to specify the namespace for any
name-space-qualified item, not just for its parent.
