What are you using to transform and validate the document? This should
not happen since you specify xsl:output encoding='utf-8', so this might
rather be a problem with your method of submission or transformation.

What do you mean by that? Clearly if you specify method='html' the re-
sult is very unlikely to be proper XHTML.

That is because you put those elements in no namespace, instead of using
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> put the xmlns declaration on
the xsl:stylesheet element. Then all unprefixed literal result elements
will be in that namespace. This might also resolve your second issue.
