Notwithstanding the upgrade comment by Daniel, here is your problem, should 
save you time to find it out:

You need the attribute
extension-element-prefixes="exsl".

(As far as the XSLT processor is concerned, it doesn't know
if you really had wanted to output an actual <exsl:document> element.)

Although, it is funny, I checked one of my own stylesheets, it didn't have 
that attribute either, and exslt:document still worked, which is wrong --- I 
am investigating.
