XSLT 1.0 has been standardized in 1999 and the namespace of XSLT is 
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform.
The namespace http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl you are using is that of a 
predecessor of XSLT 1.0 that only old versions of MSXML (3.0 and 
earlier) support.
Unless you have legacy code I would strongly suggest not to use that 
namespace anymore but use XSLT 1.0.

As for your question, if you post the HTML output you want to generate 
for the XML input sample you have posted then we can help with an XSLT 
1.0 stylesheet.
