Is it legal XHTML to give an alias to the XHTML name space ?
I don't include the XHTML DTD because the parser doesn't seem to like it.

this is a FAQ, but basically 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";

is an element with local name html in the XHTML  namespace 

and

 "//body"
is a (very inefficient) XPath looking for all instances of an element
with local name body in no namespace. In particular this does not match
any element in the XHTML namespace.

You want to add
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; 

to your xsl:stylesheet then match on

h:body rather than body.
