xhtml XPath problem


I am having trouble with XPath when trying to match elements in an xhtml 
document stored in an xsl:variable.  I have no trouble when the xhtml is 
missing its DOCTYPE declaration, but can't match elements when the xhtml 
is conforming.  I used xalan for this example:

test.html:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.or
g/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";  >
<head>
<title>test doc</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head><body></body>
</html>

test.xsl:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:my="http://lib.virginia.edu/my-template-language";>
   <xsl:variable name="source" select="/" />
   <xsl:template match="/">
     <xsl:value-of select="$source/html/head/title" />
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I would like to see the title "test doc" there but it is not.  If I 
modify my test.html file it works:

test.html:

<html><head>
<title>test doc</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head><body></body>
</html>

Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
test doc

Can anyone let me know why this is not working with a valid xhtml 
document?
Thanks in advance for any help,

--Doug
