Thanks, Michael, that was the problem.

MK> Yes, it's simple: you've fallen into the old "default namespace" trap.

>> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">


>> <p><xsl:for-each select="document('utccat.xml')/catalog/system">

MK> The element name is not "catalog", it is
MK> "{urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog}catalog".

MK> Do a search for "XSLT matching default namespace" to find numerous posts on
MK> this topic.
