RE: DTD and Collection

Your DTD appears to be one of those ghastly ones that attaches a default
namespace to some of the elements in your XML. There are DTD designers who
think this is clever, and there are others who do it deliberately because
they like to drive XSLT programmers insane. If you find the culprit, report
them to their professional standards body and have them expelled.

Meanwhile, look into the DTD, look for a declaration of the xmlns attribute
with a default value, and use that namespace as the value of
xpath-default-namespace in your stylesheet.
