nodeset namespace

If I have something like this in my stylesheet:
  <xsl:variable name="formTabsFrag">
    <tab title="abc" />
    <tab title="efg" />
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="formTabs" select="xalan:nodeset($formTabsFrag)"/>

then I do something like:
    <xsl:for-each select="$formTabs[1]/*">
      <tab>
        <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
      </tab>
    </xsl:for-each>

it doesn't find @title.

Why is that?

TIA
Al
