[xsl] Issues with output of IMG, LINK (css) tags and   literal ? Parsers faulty or ??

["SANWAL, ABHISHEK (HP-Houston)" <abhishek.sanwal@xxxxxx>]

I came across a lot of issues in passing the IMG and CSS tags across
from my XSL to the output HTML

When I used the standard way to output them the XSL would break or the
output will not contain them.

So I looked online and found the following ways of putting these tags
across.

<xsl:element name="LINK">
	<xsl:attribute name="REL">stylesheet</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="Type">text/css</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="HREF">mycss.css</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "mycss.css"></link> 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "mycss.css"/>

<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of
select="@ImageURI"/></xsl:attribute>
</img>

 <xsl:attribute name="width">
 <xsl:value-of select="@ImageURI" /> 
 </xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="height">
 <xsl:value-of select="ImageURI" /> 
 </xsl:attribute>

But whichever way I send it out it eliminates the "closing tag" </...>
or the "/" in the single close tag <..../>

WHY DOES IT DO THAT ? This is done by XMLSpy (internal XSLT engine) and
MSXSL parser 4.0

Since all my XML and XSLs are wellformed I would like my HTML to be as
well. So that I can "pretty print" the same in XMLSpy.

Also MSXSL 4.0 and System.Xml both have issues with any &nbsp; in the
literal code or in any <xsl:text> tags.

Someone kindly tell me whats going on here ?
