RSS usually does not contain well-formed XHTML markup but rather escaped 
HTML tag soup. So processing that escaped HTML tag soup with XML tools 
like XSLT is difficult.
You could try to parse the escaped markup with an extension function 
like 
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/parse.html 
but even that will only work if the escaped markup is well-formed XML 
and not HTML tag soup.
