... And all your tags are now in the XHTML namespace, not the default 
namespace.

remove the xmlns declaration and your stylsheet works.

You need to tell the stylesheet about the namespace by declaring it at the top 
and giving it an "alias" (forgot the XML terminology), then matching with that 
alias:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
         <xsl:message>Starting root</xsl:message>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
         <xsl:message>Ending root</xsl:message>
        </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="xhtml:head">
        <xsl:message>Doing head</xsl:message>
         </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="xhtml:body">
         <xsl:message>body</xsl:message>
        </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
