a workaround for me in a similiar scenario was to use disable-output-escaping 
on a few elements.

eg.

<xsl:template name="user.header.content">
   <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[
       <table class="flat">
       ...
   ]]></xsl:text>
   ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="user.footer.content">
   ...
   <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[
       ...
       </table>
   ]]></xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

be warned though that disabling output escaping usually is considered to be a 
bad idea and generally should be avoided (check the archives of the xsl list on 
100+ threads on this)
