This is now looking reasonably sensible, though I can't follow the logic in
detail (it would be easier to understand if your variable names were more
meaningful than A and B).

Note that you can usually rewrite

<xsl:element name="p">
...
</xsl:element>

as

<p>
...
</p>

(there's a minor difference in the handling of namespaces).

I would write this as

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html><head>...</head>
  <body>
    <xsl:call-template name="replaceLineBreaks">
      <xsl:with-param name="string" select="string(doc)"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="replaceLineBreaks">
  ...
</xsl:template>
