XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list:

   http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

There are a number of subscribers who would 
enthusiastically respond to such questions.

There is also an *excellent* XSLT FAQ at:

It is your stylesheet that is ignoring them

If you have <xsl:template match="table"> then you could choose something like:

   <xsl:copy-of select="."/>

to preserve the entire table.

But this is only a guess because you haven't 
given enough information of your details with 
which to give a more complete answer.  The 
stylesheet fragment of yours that made it through 
my mailer seems very succinct ... perhaps there 
is more to it than I can see because of your use of HTML.

You can choose to preserve any part of your input 
tree as you construct your output tree.

I hope this helps.
