Depending on how well you copied the code, quite a bit:

If the parser validated your XML, it would fail. XML element
names are case sensitive. "Name" is different from "name".
Fortunately for you, the parser probably didn't stumble about
this.

This one is more serious: the closing tag for <Names> is missing.
I'll assume this is an artefact from copy+pasting the source.

Yuou are running Safari, which is a Mozilla deriate. However,
you left the deprecated stylesheet declaration valid only for
old IEx installations in your stylesheet, while the correct one
was commented out. All in all, the XSLT is a no-op.
BTW

THere is no officially registered MIME type "text/xsl". The correct
MIME type is "text/xml", unfortunately IEx wont understand this.
Mozilla and probably Safari should understand both "text/xsl" and
"text/xml".
