Re: disable-output-escaping

It can't be done when the data comes from a database that contains HTML code 
that you can't check if its correct or not. In general, such data contains 
tags that aren't closed, like <br> ; This kind of use is tremendously 
common.

I think ... and it's just a humble thought

that by definition.... ( taken from http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt )
"This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT, which is a 
language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents."

You know, transforming "documents" into "documents"... That means the output 
of the transformation should be a document,
not a dom-tree, not anything else;

IMHO, I think that is essential that you change the way things are done, not 
only to make things even with IE, but also to
allow a --killer-- feature which is to view the source of the xslt 
transformation... That would make development in xml/xslt much easier and 
would make firefox be the defacto browser for developing in xslt.

Let me know if there's any way I can help. I'm willing to contribute code. 
I'll read the roadmap as soon as I can

Gabriel Blum
