That's actually a bit of a pain, because you have to prevent the normal 
XML handling (but keep enough of it around that you can show the result 
of your XSL transformation, right?

In any case, you can easily get XML documents as strings without parsing 
if you're doing XHR or some such, but to get them that way when loading 
in the URL bar you'd have to suppress the normal XML handling.
