Edward,
 Thanks for the quick response!   Your suggestion solved my problem.  I 
added 

<xsl:output method='html' media-type='text/html' />

into my xsl sheet and it solved all my issues.  No more warnings in the 
apache logs and the Content-Type is now set to text/html.  Firefox 
rendered it beautifully.  I really appreciate your help.

That warning is, I believe from libxslt, and is most likely referring to
you not having a media-type="text/html" attribute in your <xsl:output>
tag.
