You were supposed to write what Joerg meant not what he wrote.
name()=subtitle 
tests teh name f the current element against the string value of its
child subtitle element. 
name()='subtitle'
was intended which tests the name of teh current element against the
string 'subtitle'.
it's better to use the self::subtitle form though ratherthan using
name() as it's shorter, likely to be a bit quicker (if not noticeable)
and more importantly it works correctly with namespaces, which name()
does not.
