XSLT and well-formed XHTML

From: Vic <vfees@---------------.--->

Date: 5/10/2008 10:40:00 AM
I have an XML doc that represents a web page. I use an XSLT to
transform the XML in to XHTML. However, there are a number of problems
with the resulting XHTML and consequently, it doesn't validate against
the w3c validator. I've been searching the web for solutions and found
some half-baked answers to some of these issues, but no real solutions
that made sense to me.

Here are my issues:

1. The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is
different from the value in the <meta> element (utf-16). I will use
the value from the HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation. This
problem is created by this line: <META http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-16">, which is automatically generated
by the transformation???? I'm not sure why.

2. The meta tags are not well formed. They show up without the closing
"/>." I tried to resolve this by changing my XSLT output from "html"
to "xml" but that results in no page at all.

3. I get blank namespace attributes, such as: <body xmlns="">. I have
absolutely no idea why this is happening, but it's invalid.

Following is my XSLT. It is neither sophisticated nor complex. Is
there anyone who can help me resolve these issues?
