Unable to understand why a template match is not caught though declared - xslt

Question

I'm writing a XSLT script and there is a section named footnotes, my script is catching all elements other than footnotes. I'm using XSL2.0 and Below is my XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<chapter num="D" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:acknowledgement="file://acknowledgement.xsd" xmlns:admission="file://admission.xsd" xmlns:affidavit="file://affidavit.xsd" xmlns:agreement="file://agreement.xsd" xmlns:appeal="file://appeal.xsd" xmlns:appearance="file://appearance.xsd" xmlns:application="file://application.xsd" xmlns:assent="file://assent.xsd" xmlns:authorisation="file://authorisation.xsd" xmlns:award="file://award.xsd" xmlns:brief="file://brief.xsd" xmlns:caveat="file://caveat.xsd" xmlns:certificate="file://certificate.xsd" xmlns:checklist="file://checklist.xsd" xmlns:claim="file://claim.xsd" xmlns:clause="file://clause.xsd" xmlns:comparisontable="file://comparisontable.xsd" xmlns:conditionsofcontract="file://conditionsofcontract.xsd" xmlns:declaration="file://declaration.xsd" xmlns:defaultjudgment="file://defaultjudgment.xsd" xmlns:defence="file://defence.xsd" xmlns:demand="file://demand.xsd" xmlns:flowchart="file://flowchart.xsd" xmlns:form="file://form.xsd" xmlns:guarantee="file://guarantee.xsd" xmlns:instruction="file://instruction.xsd" xmlns:judgment="file://judgment.xsd" xmlns:letter="file://letter.xsd" xmlns:minutes="file://minutes.xsd" xmlns:notice="file://notice.xsd" xmlns:oath="file://oath.xsd" xmlns:order="file://order.xsd" xmlns:patent="file://patent.xsd" xmlns:petition="file://petition.xsd" xmlns:powerofattorney="file://powerofattorney.xsd" xmlns:praecipe="file://praecipe.xsd" xmlns:questionnaire="file://questionnaire.xsd" xmlns:recognisance="file://recognisance.xsd" xmlns:release="file://release.xsd" xmlns:renunciation="file://renunciation.xsd" xmlns:reply="file://reply.xsd" xmlns:report="file://report.xsd" xmlns:request="file://request.xsd" xmlns:schedule="file://schedule.xsd" xmlns:statementofclaim="file://statementofclaim.xsd" xmlns:subpoena="file://subpoena.xsd" xmlns:summons="file://summons.xsd" xmlns:undertaking="file://undertaking.xsd" xmlns:warrant="file://warrant.xsd" xmlns:writ="file://writ.xsd" xmlns:book="file://book.xsd" xmlns:forms="file://forms.xsd" xmlns:misc="file://misc.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:htm="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/">
<htm:p align="center">
<htm:b>Bold Content</htm:b>
<footnote num="1">
<para>
Footnote content.
</para>
</footnote>
</htm:p>
</chapter>
And below is my XSLT.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

But my expected output is

<body>
<section class="tr_chapter">

</section>
<section class="tr_footnotes"><hr/>
<div class="tr_footnote">
<div class="footnote">

</sup>
<div class="para">Footnote content.
</div>
</div>
</div></section>
</body>
</html>
Here is a working demo
please let me know where Am I going wrong and how can I fix this.
Thanks

Your stylesheet declares:
xpath-default-namespace="http://foo.bar.com/ns"
The footnote in your XML is in no namespace, therefore the test in:
<xsl:if test="//footnote">
returns false.
