parsers don't get upset they just report errors (honestly:-) 
You have put elements inside xsl:text, but the content of xsl:text
should be, well, text. The parser is using them as XML because they are
XML. literal result elements go straight into the template, not inside
xsl:text. Also the   entity will generate an undefined entity
unless you have defined it in the stylesheet. Use  .

XML attributes always have to have a value, so you can't use `nowrap'
without giving it a value.
