Cascading styles through XSLT

Hi.

I have the following XML ..

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="try.xslt"?>

<head>

    <title>Title</title>

    <desc> <p>Description<ul><li>item 1</li><li>item 2</li></ul></p>

    </desc>

</head>

I am trying to transform it into the following HTML using XSLT.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<body>

<p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">

   <!-- content of the <desc> tag in the XML should appear here.

</p>

</body>

</html>

The problem is that I have some styles defined for the para tag above in the HTML. This doesn't cascade down into the para tags present in the content of the <desc> tag in the XML.

What I get is this...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<body>

<p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">

   <p>Description<ul><li>item 1</li><li>item 2</li></ul></p></p>

</body>

</html>

I have been asked not to use CSS due to earlier problems in getting it to display correctly in certain email clients and instead use only inline styles. I also don't have control over the XML and I have been informed that the content of the <desc> tag will contain rich text (with HTML formatting tags).

So, is there anyway I can cascade the styles defined above to the para tags within the content of the <desc> tag?

Any help/pointers is appreciated. Thanks.

The problem might be related to the use of paragraph <p> tags instead of using <div>s Can you use <div> instead?
