Well, this is not well-formed xml. You can easily  convert it into
well-formed xml with sed.
cat brokenxml.sgml | sed -e s-\<COLSEP\>-\</COLSEP\>\<COLSEP\>- \
-e s-\<TABROW\>-\<TABROW\>\<COLSEP\>-\
-e s-\</TABROW\>-\</COLSEP\>\<TABROW\>- > wellformed.xml

After that you can apply your xslt-templates :)
