Thanks Mike!
I've changed <xsl:template match="/"> into <xsl:template match="root"> and that did the trick!
But how could I know that "Built-in templates don't pass their parameters on to the templates they call."?
Why is that and is it in your book (XSLT 2nd) somewhere?

Your first template rule doesn't call the second one directly, it does so
via the built-in template for the <root> element. Built-in templates don't
pass their parameters on to the templates they call.
