Well you could do that but you would still get html at the end, not xhtml.

The only xslt 1.0 way to get xhtml is to use the xml output method, and ensure you don’t get element minimisation (<div></div> becomes <div/>) and the right doctypes etc

I *think* with Saxon 7.x if you specify xhtml output method (of xslt 2.0) and version="1.0" (backwards compatibility mode) you can get xhtml output with your original stylesheet, but I haven't had time to look into that much.
