Yes, nice one; I didn't know it and it is an ugly bug indeed. But my
statement was actually about client side XSLT using Javascript
invocation, where this behavior is not so. With JS there are many ways
to get a serialized string from an XSLT transformation in IE, but all of
them are on the resulting DOM object, where the information on
indentation is gone.

Another reason not to use PIs ;)

One thing I want to achieve is uncoupling XSLT and JS. Even with JS
disabled, the page is delivered with all its structure and is readable by a
screen-reader. I can assure you, PI _is_ manageable,  but the application
is organized differently, of course.

Btw, I couldn't help noticing that you serve your XML as text/html. I
assume that is on purpose, because of that other bug in IE not
understanding text/xml + PI?

I noticed problems with IE for output method="xml", yes. But when
I look at the response-header in Firefox it's text/xml.
