You did not generate HTML, you generated XML.
Add <xsl:output method="html"/> to your stylesheet, before the first template.

What do you mean 'accessed through code'? What code? 

The typical usage of XSLT, when generating HTML, is to generate a complete 
HTML document, not just a little fragment like this.  Then you put that 
document somewhere where it can be accessed by a web browser. :)
