> So why is it called 'variable'?
well in an earlier draft it was called a constant, but it got changed
(rightly I think). It can have different values in different scopes so
`constant' is a confusing name, and variable corresponds with the
terminology of other functional languages such as standard ML.

which XSL engine are you using? That has not been the XSL namespace URI
for a _long_ time. None of the current XSL engines will work with that
except IE5. If you are using IE5 please say so, as the `XSL' implemented
there is basically a completely different language that happens to hace
the same name.
The version below appears to do the right thing given a current XSL
engine. On xt it currently adds one extra xmlns:X attribute to the
top level html element but that is a known issue, and shouldn't do any
harm.
Note I lowercased all your HTML elements. You should get used to that,
after HTML4, HTML will be XML based, with elements all lowercase.
