RE: How to stream HTML tags included in XML using XSL

If I understand you correctly, these would just be regular literal result
elements (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#literal-result-element). As elements
outside of the XSLT namespace, an XSLT processor would just pass them along
as-is to the output. For example, with the following template rule in your
stylesheet, the b tags will show up around the contents of the input
emphasis element in your output:

  <xsl:template match="emphasis">
    <b><xsl:apply-templates/></b>
  </xsl:template>

>I know we should not use formatting info in XML

Don't feel bad--this is part of the point of a stylesheet language: to add
the markup for visual presentation in specific forms of output.
