.. figures :-)

Off the top of my head I see two issues here. 

A: 

>

>    <refnamediv>
>       <refname>Test</refname>

+

... refname is not a child of refentry, so that simple select won't
work.
You might try <xsl:value-of select="refnamediv/refname" /> 

B:

>         <xsl:template match="refentry">

What's with this?

According to WC3 XSLT 5.5 it's downright illegal to have two templates
matching exactly. What's a poor parser supposed to do with instructions
like that?


Just my reactions...
