Why does my XSL Stylesheet no work

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="xsl_stepbystep.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>

<subjects>
<URL>http://www.webappdev.nci/subjects</URL>
<domain>
<name>Web Development</name>
<subjectEntries type="overview">
<subjectEntry id="1" status="available">XML Introduction</subjectEntry>
<subjectEntry id="2" status="available">XPath Travels</subjectEntry>
<subjectEntry id="3" status="unavailable">Data Validation</subjectEntry>
</subjectEntries>
</domain>
</subjects>

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="//subjectEntries">
<html>
<head>
<title>Exam</title>
</head>

<body>
<h2>Available Subject Entries</h2>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="subjectEntry">
<xsl:if test="@status = 'available'">
<li><xsl:value-of select="self"/></li>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Try this:
I refactored it a little...
- define the head body of the html page and call your template in the body
- dont need to loop using for-each, just let the template match each subject element

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<head>
				<title>Exam</title>
			</head>
			<body>
				<h2>Available Subject Entries</h2>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="subjectEntry">
		<xsl:if test="@status = 'available'">
			<ul> 
				<li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
			</ul>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
