If (possibly a big if) browsers fully implement the XSLT 1.0, then they have
to support disable-output-escaping, whatever that may entail for them in
reparsing the output before rendering it. If they do not implement it, then
that is no different than not implementing any other features which are a
part of the XSLT recommendation (e.g. like document() & MSXSL ) in terms of
the potential problems for stylesheet creators.
