You have to use XHTML output method, which is not standard in XSLT 1.0,
but it is supported by Saxon. Just use the following parameters in your
customization layer:

<xsl:param name="chunker.output.method">saxon:xhtml</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="chunker.output.indent">yes</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="chunker.output.omit-xml-declaration">yes</xsl:param>
