No, your input (and hence your output) must start with a top level
element html in no-namespace so xslt defaults to html output, where the
syntax of empty elements does not use the xml form />. if you want to
generate XML in this case then you need to say explictly 
xsl:output method="xml"
but in that case you might perhaps also put the elements into the xhtml
namespace rather than no-namespace.
