From a quick glance it looks like a namespace prefix problem.  In your XSLT
stylesheet you refer to the elements xhtml:PortfolioResp and xhtml:Quote.
In the stylesheet the prefix xhtml rightly refers to the URI
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml but the elements you reference are in the
namespace with the URI http://www.portfolio.org/Portfolio/Response.  You
simply need to create a new namespace prefix in your XLST stylesheet and use
that as the prefix for the PortfolioResp and Quote elements.
