Ralph Butterweck's explanation pretty much nailed it (note the link to
RenderX's fo2html stylesheet page):

Having never done XML=>HTML before, these two simple steps worked
surprisingly well for me. Here's how I transformed my XML & XSL files
into HTML using the xalan.bat file included (thanks!) with FOP (watch wrap):

NOTE: xalan command line arguments:
xalan.bat -in <XML-IN-FILE> -xsl <XSLFILE> -out <OUTFILE>

*-=- STEP 1 -=-*
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\FOP-02~1.4>
xalan.bat -in c:\path\to\xml\test_MIWC_1.2.XML -xsl
c:\path\to\xsl\xml_med7_MIWC.fo -out test_MIWC_1.2.fo

*-=- STEP 2 -=-*
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\FOP-02~1.4>
xalan.bat -in c:\path\to\xml\test_MIWC_1.2.fo -xsl
c:\path\to\xsl\fo2html.xsl -out test_MIWC_1.2.html


Like the results from using FOP to transform XML to "-txt" (not really
that useful), the result is not generally desirable, however, it
provided output that was at least somewhat useful. I could certainly
tweak the output a bit and make it "pretty".

I doubt it would take much to have FOP do this (in theory at least ;-p),
but you can already use XALAN to use this, so why bother. The argument
against doing this is similar to the argument against having FOP output
the *.fo file used to output the PDF (something else for which xalan is
useful).
