Your expression //chapter/title is asking for elements which are in no
namespace. You have to declare prefix for DocBook namespace for XPointer
query. In theory you can use something like:
xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook)xpointer(//db:chapter/db:title/node())"
Can you confirm whether xmllint supports this syntax?
