Declare xhtml namespace in the stylesheet and use something like

I tried that just _before_ reading your e-mail. It worked.
However, it should be possible to use the raw "html/body/table...",
shouldn't it?
When I have an XML input (home made XML, using default namespace, just
like the HTML file I'm inputting), I simply name the tags I want, and it
works just fine (!)

For example, I want to be able to use the following on my XSL file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<article>
<xsl:apply-templates select="html/body/table[3]/tr[1]/td[1]" />
</article>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Because I know that on the first cell of the first row of the third
table which is directly in the body of my html document contains an
article.
It does not work. I am afraid I have a problem with my namespaces, as
the following (equivalent) XSL works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<article>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*[name()='html']/*[name()='body']/*[name()='table'][3]/*[name()='tr'][1]/*[name()='td'][1]"
/>
</article>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
However, I'd prefer not to use the second form. Obvious reason.
What am I doing wrong?????!!!

P.S.: Here is the beginning of my HTML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<!-- Some meta tags and a link tag. All of them empty and valid. -->

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
