The big trouble here is that xml elements are being represented as
unstructured text -- and the result cannot be anything better!

The correct way of doing things in XML and XSLT is:

Instead of 

"&lt;P&gt;" 

Use:

<P>contents here</P>

Then in your stylesheet simply copy the tree that has as root this
element using simply:

xsl:copy-of
