i try this stuff and then drop it for a month, then try to get back into it,
then leave it, then come back ----  there is a lot of detail !!!

i thougth the apply-templates tag should be called apply-template 
because it doesnt trickle down the way you have it coded, you have to 
keep calling it after you match, so, you may end up doing:


<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="pb"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
</xsl:template>

of course i could be out to lunch - i am just learning too!
