disable-output-escaping is an optional feature of XSLT: not every
processor implements it. It's a messy feature that disturbs the clean
architectural interface between the transformation engine and the
serializer, which is why some processors like Mozilla have decided that
it's better not to implement it.

It's much better to tidy the input HTML as well-formed XHTML which is
then nested hierarchically in the XML tree structure rather than being
escaped or wrapped in CDATA. You can do this by invoking the W3C tidy
utility if you need to.
