You are selecting 'title' explicitly, and then matching it again with
the unrestricted 'apply-templates'---the default template (since there
is no explicit 'title' template) just prints the content of the
'title' element.

Among the possible solutions, you could leave everything precisely as
it is and add:

<xsl:template match="title"/>

Or, delete everything within and including the 'h1' element in the
'sect1' template, and add:

<xsl:template match="title">
  <h1><value-of select="."/></h1>
</xsl:template>
