This is correct.


I need to output this character!
Is there any pure XSLT workaround for my problem,

Not that I can think of ... you can't specify the character in XML in order for the character to be in the stylesheet to be output to your result.


or do I have output
something like "JUNK" and have a (non-XSLT) script postprocess the
text to replace that with the required control character?

XT has the built-in NXML extension output method that is already written for you to do just this: outputting arbitrary character codes in text files. There is an example of the use of NXML on pages 120-123 of the free excerpt download of our XSLT book that we sell off our web site.


If you need to use <xsl:key> that XT doesn't support, then write a two-pass where the first pass uses another processor and outputs XML that your XT pass then reads and puts out the control characters.

I hope this helps.
