	ACK.

	I'm not confined to XSLT, actually.  With the help of, e. g.,
	Perl's XML::LibXSLT, I could probably implement binary output in
	a way that won't preclude the use of a multibyte encoding
	(UTF-8) for the rest of the output.  OTOH, I could probably
	implement the whole procedure in, e. g., Tcl.

	Isn't it the same issue as [1]?
