Just a typo, it should be Transform, not Transforms.

By the way, I also picked up that book when starting with XSLT, and
discovered that it has a large number of inaccuracies, which confused me
numerous times. It sounds like you have a later version, since my text has
this example on page 131 (vs your reference of page 138), but nonetheless, I
would not recommend it. The "classic" text is XSLT Programmer's Reference by
Michael Kay; it's definitely worth getting.
