format xml
You are making this __much__ more complicated than it need be:

<xsl:for-each select="mbody/p">
this says for each p child or mbody

  <xsl:apply-templates select = "//p" /> 

apply templates to every p element anywhere in the document
(not just in this mbody)

then after that apply templates
  <xsl:apply-templates select = "//b"/>

to every b element anywhere in the document.

when you do get to a p you do:

<xsl:template match = "p" >
	<xsl:value-of select = "." />
</xsl:template> 

which says do not apply templates to the children of p (such as that b
element) instead just make a string of all the character data, ignoring
any element nodes (which is what value-of is defined to do).

all you need is:

<xsl:template match = "/" >
<html>
<body>
  <xsl:apply-templates select ="article/body/module/p"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "p" >
<p>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "b" >
<b>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</b>
</xsl:template>
