I've no experience in xml/xhtml/xls but:
First of all, your page throws multiple errors when validating
(http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.houseofnerds.com%2Fmathml_test.xml),
maybe you should solve these first.
Second: put a border around the body, this will show you that the main
content is outside the body.
If you remove the xml stylesheet (I can't see what it does anyway),
the css takes effect in FF: the line containing "MathML Test Page" has
a green background (this _is_ the body).
You might consider applying a background to html instead:
html{ background-color: #c8ffc8;}
Hope this is of any use to you.
