For Mozilla specific XSLT questions there is the newsgroup 
netscape.public.mozilla.layout.xslt. But the topic there is not general 
XSLT questions.

Is that supposed to be a snippet of XML? Then it should probably look
   <content:encoded>
   </content:encoded>

As for the XSLT it looks fine as a snippet but of course to write an 
XPath expression like e.g. content:encoded you need to make sure that 
the prefix content is bound to a namespace URI. So make sure your 
stylesheet element for instance has e.g.
   <xsl:stylesheet
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     version="1.0"
     xmlns:content="http://example.com/2005/09/01/n1">
where you replace http://example.com/2005/09/01/n1 with the namespace 
URI the elements in the source document are in.
