html namespace declaration is missing.

The source uses the html namespace, so you have to use non-default namespace
for html in expressions - same goes for all the other expressions below

>     <xsl:element name="{tr/td[@class='elemType']/p/text()}"
> xml:space="preserve">

xml:space here makes the indentation whitespace part of the content of the
element, and you cannot add an attribute node to an element after you've
added non-attribute nodes to it. thus, remove the whitespace before the
xsl:apply-template below

>       <xsl:apply-templates
> select="tr/td[@class='childholder']/div/table"  mode="scrapattrs"/>

In the source the value of the class attribute is childHolder, = does a
case-sensitive comparison on strings.

>    </xsl:element>

Here add the html namespace prefixes, but areaType attribute is also on
non-null namespace in your source.
