Most likely your generated XHTML contains a default namespace declaration.
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" or the like

So you have to declare this namespace in your stylesheet (with prefix, 
say xhtml) and modify your templates like this
<xsl:template match="xhtml:table">

I hope this short answer helps.
Cheers,
