The XML is displayed incorrectly in Firefox.  It should be displayed as a table.
 However, each row is placed next to each other instead of the table rendering
properly.  This displays correctly as a table in Internet Explorer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an XML file:
-----------XML FILE-----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mytest.xsl"?>
<database>
	<schema name="SCHEMA1">
		<table>
			<name>PERSON</name>
			<description>This table contains info about each person</description>
			<column>
				<name>PersonID</name>
				<notnull />
				<datatype>int</datatype>
				<description>Identity field that autoincrements for each person record
added</description>
			</column>
			<column>
				<name>FirstName</name>
				<datatype>varchar(50)</datatype>
				<description>First Name of this person</description>
			</column>
			<column>
				<name>DOB</name>
				<datatype>DateTime</datatype>
				<description>Date of birth for this person</description>
			</column>
		</table>
	</schema>
</database>
------------------------------------------


2. Create an XSL file:
-----------XSL FILE-----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<head><title>My Test</title></head>
			<body>
				<h2>Database</h2>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="schema">
		<schema>
			<div style="border: solid 1px #BBBBBB;">
				<span style="font-weight: bold;"><xsl:apply-templates select="@name"/></span>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
			</div>
		</schema>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="table">
		<table>
			<div style="border: solid 1px green; padding: 5px;">
				<div style="font-weight: bold;">
					<span style="color: magenta;"><name><xsl:apply-templates
select="name"/></name></span> -
					<xsl:apply-templates select="description"/>
				</div>
				<table border="1">
					<xsl:apply-templates/>
				</table>
			</div>
		</table>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="column">
		<column>
			<tr>
				<td><xsl:apply-templates select="name"/></td>
				<td><xsl:apply-templates select="datatype"/></td>
				<td><xsl:apply-templates select="description"/></td>
			</tr>
		</column>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
------------------------------------------


3. Open the XML file in Firefox - it does not display the table correctly.
Actual Results:  
Table portion not displayed correctly - rows placed next to each other instead
of in standard table format

Expected Results:  
Similar output to Internet Explorer or the way the following html is displayed:

<html>
<head><title>My Test</title></head>
<body>
	<h2>Database</h2>
	<div style="border: solid 1px #BBBBBB;">
	<span style="font-weight: bold;">SCHEMA1</span>
	<div style="border: solid 1px green; padding: 5px;">
		<div style="font-weight: bold;">
			<span style="color: magenta;">PEOPLE</span> - This table contains info about
each person
		</div>
		<table border="1">
			<tr>
				<td>PersonID</td>
				<td>int</td>
				<td>Identity field that autoincrements for each person record added</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>FirstName</td>
				<td>varchar(50)</td>
				<td>First Name of this person</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>DOB</td>
				<td>DateTime</td>
				<td>Date of birth for this person</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
