To know why those XPath expressions don't return anything, you need to
know what the input of the XSL transformation is. The input is an XML
document of which the general structure is shown here:

http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-2_2/374-cd/g1/26-cd.html

The root tag is called document, so the "/page" in the XPath expression
above won't return anything. And there's only a d:document, no
d:version.

To view the complete XML that goes in your XSL transformation, add this
instruction somewhere in your XSL:

<xsl:copy-of select="/"/>

and then do view-source in your browser and look for the <document> tag.
(yep, we need more convenient ways to visualize the data which flows
through the XML pipelines)
