Now that Ken has cleared up your original question, and just before you 
get started with the xslt list, I would like to make a few suggestions. 
  If you got rid of the xsl:element/xsl:attribute syntax, and just used 
literal result elements, your stylesheet would be much easier to read - 
and therefore debug and maintain.

For example, the main template would read

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
    <head>
       <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1'/>
       <title>Test BR problem</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <div><xsl:call-template name="page-body"/>
    </body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

This will produce the exact same result.  Wouldn't you rather write this 
than your original?   The only time you need to use xsl:element and 
xsl:attribute would be when their names need to be dynamically computed.

Second, when you ask for help, please try to pare down your example to 
the simplest thing that can still illustrate the problem.  That is a 
good plan for debugging, too.

Xslt is a terrific tool.  Good luck!

Cheers,
