Re: xsl:output method="xhtml", indent, linefeeds probl

An example:

XML
<root>
  ...
  <text></text>

</root>

XSL

...
  <xsl:template match="text">
    <textarea name="text" style="width: 100%" rows="14" cols="100">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </textarea>
  </xsl:template>


leads to the 'textarea' tag not being closed
properly and therefor the rest of the produced
output appears in the textarea! Adding an
artificial empty space solves this but gives in
this case a predefined space in the textarea, which is not nice!

I had this kind of "bleed" beyond the end of an
empty element with coloured text that coloured
the text through to the end of the page.

    <textarea name="text" style="width: 100%" rows="14" cols="100">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        <xsl:comment/>
    </textarea>

Hopefully the comment will be ignored by the
browser, but the comment will force there to be an end tag.
