Re: XSLT non-XML output

/ Jeni Tennison <jeni@jenitennison.com> was heard to say:

We could add an option to our xslt components that specifies the
content should be wrapped with c:document. That would have the effect
of making text output valid XML.

I don't know if the wrapper should be conditional on the output method
being text or not. I'm inclined to say not.
