Friends,
Ok, sorry I didn't post any XSL.

My XSL was something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim"
  version="1.0">

XPath 1.0 never uses the default namespace.

I added the s: and the correct namespace to the stylesheet.
  xmlns:s="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim"
<xsl:apply-templates select="//s:leader" mode="get_records"/>

Everything ran fine.

Because the patterns are not trying to use the default namespace.

I thought the namespace was 'marc:'.

There is nothing special about the prefix "s:" ... it would have worked if you said "jazzband:leader" and had xmlns:jazzband="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim" ... the prefix is irrelevant.
