Bingo!

The XHTML DTD uses the ability of a DTD to default attributes and does
default a namespace declaration.

Another faq. You are generating an html element (not a tag by the way)
in the xhtml namespace and then a p element in no-namespaace. 
The easiest way to avoid that is to put teh namespace declaration for
xhtml on the xsl:stylesheet element so it is in scope for the whole
stylesheet.

better is to make a six line example input and minimal stylesheet that
doesn't work as you expect and paste it inline into the message.
