Once you include the XML declaration in your XML file, as I just mentioned
in my previous reply, you'll probably find the stylesheet doesn't do what
you want. The problem is that you've got your namespaces mixed up.
To recap, here's your stylesheet:

There's one namespace declaration in it, the xmlns:xsl="..." attribute of
the xsl:stylesheet element. What yours is saying is that any element names
prefixed with "xsl:" are from the HTML 4.0 namespace. That's not really the
case, though; those element names are from the *XSLT* namespace. In your
stylesheet, the element names with *no* prefix (like p and br) are from the
HTML 4.0 namespace.
So you need an xsl:stylesheet element that looks like this instead:
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
(Note that if your XSLT processor complies with the XSLT spec, you also
need the version="1.0" attribute.)
I think the results will then be much closer to what you were hoping to see.
