yes true, of course.

HTML entity handling is just irretrievably broken isn't it:-)
Roll on xhtml, save us from this madness!

I don't see how that could be possible in general. The result tree can be
linearised in any way the application can provide. HTML, text, sound,
... Some of these forms may not be too suitable for being read back in.
In the case of HTML it ought to be possible, all you need to do is find
an HTML (rather than XML) parser that will present a SAX interface to the
XSL engine.
