RE: Ascii end-of-file character output in an XSL file

Yes, the codepoint 0 is the only remaining obstacle that stops you handling
binary data as if it were a string.

Apparently it's difficult to support the ASCII NUL character because some
implementations are written in antiquated programming languages that don't
allow a NUL character in the middle of a string...
