First of all, welcome to this forum!

If you are saying, you have been working with XSLT for only 1-2 days,
I must say, you have done a great job (i have looked at your
stylesheet).

If you need advise on how to improve your stylesheet, I recommend
following link:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/bestpractice.html

One of Michael Kay's books will also be a nice reference.
