I've figured out how to generate doctype for the document, but whenever I

doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";
into <xsl:output> element, the spacing in the output gets really weird. I
know there is <xsl:strip-space>, but that still doesn't fix things.

<xsl:element name="b">

That looks to me like your XSLT processor is inferring indent="yes" for
<xsl:output>. This messed me up when I was trying to abut images next to
each other without any space in between, yet the processor would put each
image on a new line, thus introducing the new-line sequence after each one.
I explicitly use <xsl:output indent="no"/> and while the resulting HTML
doesn't look great in a text editor, it looks just fine in a browser, which
is what is important.
As a result of my own experience, when I teach about indent= I advise my
students that it is fine for diagnostics but should always be indent="no"
for production purposes, even when using HTML. In my case I would never
have been able to get the images to abut.
I hope this helps.
