Default Can you use <xsl: import> and transform to a pdf?

Hello all, I am relatively new to xslt, currently I have a file that is about 30 pages long of code that I am wanting to break into seperate files and pull the appropriate file in based on a field value in my database. Hopefully that makes sense :)

This is my import file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:import href="cdcatalog_ex3.xsl"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This is the file that is it importing in:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
 <html>
 <body>
   <h2>My CD Collection</h2>
   <table border="1">
     <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
       <th>Title</th>
       <th>Artist</th>
     </tr>
     <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/title"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/artist"/></td>
     </tr>
   </table>
 </body>
 </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I run this command:
fop -xsl cdcatalog_import.xsl -xml cdcatalog.xml -pdf output.pdf

I get this error message:
Unsupported Element encountered: html(Namespace:default). Source context:unavailable

Any ideas what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

You have shown a couple of XSLT stylesheet modules that generate HTML output. But you are running them using fop, which is designed to transform XML to XSL-FO and then to PDF.
