You are mixing xhtml and html here. You claim that your output is going 
to be html and then (try to) output all content in the xhtml namespace. 
Mixing html and xhtml is a very bad idea and while it can work in some 
cases it is not supported and will break in many other.

On top of this you are using the wrong namespace for xhtml. The 
namespace for xhtml is "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" (note no slash at 
the end). Fixing this will most likely fix most of your problems.

However, I would recommend against using xhtml unless you have a lot of 
experience with it. First of all I assume that you are going to insert 
the result document into a html document. This would mix xhtml and html 
which, again, is a very bad idea.

Second, since IE doesn't support xml output from xslt it will ignore the 
xmlns attribute and just output pure html (this is why the wrong 
namespace isn't a problem in IE). So you would have to deal with using 
html in IE and xhtml in mozilla.

So just remove the xmlns attribute and all should be well and easier.
