XSLT1 spec is rather underspecified as to what a system should do with
line ends in text output.

It's probably safest to assume that it does nothing special and so you
need to output exactly what your system needs.

Most applications I find these days accept any reasonable line end
marker but notepad is fairly useless and only accepts MSDOS ^M^J pairs.
(Even wordpad that also comes free with all newer windows versions can
cope with ^J line ends)

So replace
  <xslt:text>&#xa;</xslt:text>
by
  <xslt:text>&#xa;&#xd;</xslt:text>
