Paul,

Not a misunderstanding, simply an understanding that not everything I
want to do with XSL will produce a nice XML tree. For example, some of
my stylesheets produce an XML tree will all Text and CDATA
elements....not fun stuff if I need to "fiddle" with it.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding. The tree that results from
processing an XML document with XSL is an XML node tree. You need not
"parse" it. You can attack the resulting tree DIRECTLY with the DOM.
After
 fiddling with it, you could save it in HTML syntax, or TeX syntax, or
 whatever, but that doesn't affect the shape of the node tree.
