I can't see what's wrong here, I suspect the error is in the part of the
stylesheet that you haven't shown us.

One comment on your coding style:

You do this:

>     <xsl:template match="*">
>     	<xsl:when test="name()='fussnote'">

and later this:

>     <xsl:template match="@*">
>		<xsl:when test="name()='href'">

In both cases, this isn't a good way of using template rules. It's much
better to have specific template rules for each kind of element or
attribute, than to have a generic rule which consists of a big xsl:choose
that switches on the element or attribute name.
