The suggestion was to put
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
on the xsl:stylesheet element in the stylesheet that wants to create 
XHTML elements like 'html' or 'h4'.

In the stylesheet posted now you simply copy elements from the input to 
the output so putting the namespace declaration there does not change 
anything as it has no effect on copied elements, only on literal result 
elements created in the stylesheet and on elements created newly with 
xsl:element.

If you want to add a namespace to elements then you can't copy them, you 
will need to transform them.
