Jeff,
If you look at the structural.xsl file or the xsl file in your theme you will
notice the reference to "xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'" at the top of
the page. This allows for strict xhtml in your xsl, but you will receive a
error if you include " . The xslt standard for a space is "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>".
In order to make future upgrades easier you should not edit the dri2xhtml
documents. One method is to copy the template you want to edit into a the xsl
file in your theme. If you do not currently have a xsl file in your them take a
look at the "template" them and copy the template.xsl file into your theme
(note it includes the footer template and will override the footer in the
dri2xhtml/structural.xsl file). After copying you will want to rename the
template.xsl file to have the same name as your theme (EX: yourtheme.xsl). The
next step is to edit your theme sitemap.xmap to transform your theme xsl file
by editing step 3 in your sitemap.
<!-- Step 3: Transform to XHTML -->
<map:transform src="yourtheme.xsl"/>
After you have a theme xsl file you will want to copy the needed template
section from the dri2xhtml/DIM-Handler.xsl and perform your edits in your
theme.xsl file.
<!-- Generate the info about the item from the metadata section -->
<xsl:template match="dim:dim" mode="itemSummaryList-DIM">
<!---copy to the end of the template->
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps.

Good question! Unless something has changed recently, you didn't miss
it in the documentation (and we need to fix that).
The various pages are laid out by the Theme which is active for a
given URL. (This is determined in config/xmlui.xconf, near the
bottom.) So you first need to figure out which Theme you're going to
customize.
All the Themes I'm aware of inherit a lot of code from what I like to
call the "Theme library": 'themes/dri2xhtml.xsl' and the components it
'xsl:import's from 'themes/dri2xhtml/*'. In the source kit these are
found under 'dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp'.
There's some discussion on the wiki of copying a Theme to make a new
one, if you need to do that. (It's probably a good idea to do so
whenever you customize.)
You need to fish around in the Theme library to find the bit of XSL
that transforms DRI elements into the kind of page you want to alter.
The stuff I want to change tends to be in 'dri2xhtml/DIM-Handler.xsl'.
Typically you make a copy of that code and place it in your Theme's
own something.xsl, making the necessary alterations. That causes your
altered version of the template(s) to override the 'import'ed code
from the "library".
I think the area you want is the "itemSummaryView-DIM" template.
I think there's some material on the wiki about getting the raw DRI
for an interesting page, which may help to track down the particular
transform code for the portion you're interested in.

Excellent!
So, I do need to customize the *.xsl files that are stored in the
dri2xhtml directory huh?!
One further questions, since I have been in those files looking at
them. Is it possbile to
code more indepth HTML coding like Tables, TR, TD or will cocoon cough
at this during
transformation?

Well, I'd leave those alone and just copy what you need into a theme,
then customize it there, but yes, your starting point is in there.

I think you could, but haven't tried anything extensive myself.
Cocoon is just running the XSL engine over its inputs. If you keep
the namespaces straight, HTML should just flow through. What you have
to watch is how the various XSL bits assemble the page, so you wind up
with well-formed HTML.
