This is now well-formed (though not very pretty) XML, and it's correct XSLT.
The HTML it generates is slightly dubious, because javascript:process(.....)
is not a legal URL, so some HTML validators may get upset about it (and the
XSLT serializer will replace spaces by %20, which would probably stop it
working); you may be better off generating attributes like onClick that are
designed to hold Javascript rather than URLs.
