CSS class names can't contain white space, if you end up with e.g.
   <div class="class name">
then the div elements belongs to two classes, one with name "class", the 
second with name "name".

If you want to strip spaces from Publisher then use e.g.

<xsl:attribute name="class">color<xsl:value-of
select="translate(Publisher, ' ', '')"/></xsl:attribute>

If you want to use '-' instead of space then you could do e.g.

<xsl:attribute name="class">color<xsl:value-of
select="translate(normalize-space(Publisher), ' ', '-')"/></xsl:attribute>
