XSLT 1.0:

Try adding xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" to your xsl:stylesheet and changing your match to match="x:html". (Note: you don't have to use "x"; you can choose anything you want.)

XSLT 2.0:

Either use the above method or replace the namespace prefix in your match(es) to "*" (match="*:html"). You could also add xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" to the xsl:stylesheet.
