Surely its possible to have an XSLT stylesheet inline in an XHTML page? I can combine SVG and XHTML no problem, but I'm having issues with XSLT + XHTML, am I doing something wrong?

AFAIK, you can't do that. The XSLT should be applied via <?xml-stylesheet?> as a file, or you might possibly assign an id to it, and do things that way:
<?xml version=1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="#xsl"?>
<!-- skipping some stuff including the DOCTYPE -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" id="xsl">
I'm not sure if that will work because honestly I've never even thought about doing something like that!

I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting to do this inline (e.g. you basically don't want to rewrite the entire file), but the xsl:template element is useful for targeting only certain files. Perhaps you can take advantage of that if the code above doesn't quite work.

Edit: FWIW, that invalidates your XHTML.
