Urm... I don't like this one, but it could just be my own personal
preference.  It's nicely indented and all, but I now find the <a> tag more
confusing, because I don't expect to see the end ">" on the next line like
that.

I'm tempted to say that I like this idea better, but knowing nothing about
how XSL processors are implemented, I'm worried that this might increase
parsing time a lot.  If that's the case, considering that XML/HTML documents
are really meant to be read by a computer, and being human-readable is just
an added benefit, I'd rather have quicker parsing and harder reading then
slower parsing and pretty output.  (Heck, if it's *really* messy, and I
*needed* to read the source, I'd just declare the document as XML and view
it in IE5 or another XML viewer, and let it format it for me.)
