In the transformation output, are you seeing warnings like the following:

WARNING: current implementation of tables requires a table-column for each 
column, indicating column-width

If so, the message is indicating the cause of the bad output.  For proper 
rendering, you need to supply a colwidth attribute and value for each colspec 
element.
