Be careful with that whitespace. Some of it *is* significant.
The first 5 characters must be "<?xml" and there must be whitespace
characters between "xml" and "version": <?xml version="1.0"?>

First, since you are probably using IE5 to view the XML document in the
browser, go to http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm and learn
about the upgrade you will need to do in order to use XSLT 1.0.

Instead of using IE5 you may want to consider doing server-side
transformations with Instant Saxon or something similar, producing HTML files
that your browser can then view.

If someone just shows you a stylesheet that does something with your data,
you're going to wind up missing some important concepts about what XSLT does
and the XPath data model it utilizes. You should read a tutorial on XSLT. Go
to http://www.dpawson.freeserve.co.uk/xsl/xslfaq.html and click on "Where to
Start" and then look at "Books" and "Starting Out"
