[xslt] Parsing bug? Or user not fully spec compliant?

I'm following a fairly well trod path by trying to generate HTML from
XML via xsltproc.  Unfortunately, I've run into a difference in
behavior between xsltproc and 4xslt (the xslt processor from 4suite). 
Given the following xml source:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <foo:document xmlns:foo='http://foo/'
        xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict'>

        <foo:head>
                <foo:title>This is a test</foo:title>
        </foo:head>

        <foo:body>
                <h2>How much would would a wood chuck chuck?</h2>

                <p>A wood chuck would chuck as much as he could
                if a wood chuck could chuck wood...</p>
        </foo:body>
  </foo:document>
And the following stylesheet:

  <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
        xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
        xmlns:foo='http://foo/'
        xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict'>

  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="foo:document">
        <html>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="foo:head"/>
  <xsl:template match="foo:body">
        <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </body>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="h2">
        <h2><xsl:value-of select="."/></h2>
  </xsl:template>

  </xsl:stylesheet>

I would expect the output to look (something) like this:

<html>
  <body>
    <h2>How much would would a wood chuck chuck?</h2>
    A wood chuck would chuck as much as he could if a wood chuck
    could chuck wood...
  </body>
</html>

And this is what I get with 4xslt.  However, if I try to parse this
with xsltproc, the verbose output says:

  xsltProcessOneNode: no template found for h2

And the output is:

<html>
        <body>
                How much would would a wood chuck chuck?

                A wood chuck would chuck as much as he could
                if a wood chuck could chuck wood...
        </body>
</html>

In other words, the <h2> element is not matching the h2 template when
the document is processed with xsltproc.  Is this a bug in the
xsltproc?  Or is my stylesheet malformed?

Thanks for your help,
