XSL as it is being defined doesn't generate HTML.  It can either
produce a flow object tree (using XSL flow objects--there is no
such thing as HTML flow objects) or an XML tree.  As I explained
in <http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/archive/msg00526.html>
and elsewhere, judicious use of tag and attribute names when producing
an XML tree can lead to something (sometimes called "well-formed HTML"
or XML-using-the-HTML-tagset) that displays in an HTML browser.
