[xslt] "text" output bug(?)

[ben <nicolas marsgui libertysurf fr>]

Hello,

I'm new to the list and I try to use xsltproc. I want to use it to
transform some XML files to another format thanks to private XSL
stylesheets.

Releases:
- libxml2-2.4.1
- libxslt-0.14.0

With the following case, xsltproc doesn't want to work:

* I run xsltproc on the following stylesheet:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version='1.0'>

<xsl:import href="/path/to/my-main-stylesheet.xsl"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

* with my-main-stylesheet.xsl output method set to "text".

Then, I've the stderr output:
xsltApplyStylesheet: unsupported method (null)

Looking in the code, I've patched libxslt/transform.c like this, since
in my working case the style method is null:

Can you confirm that the patch is ok? If not, can you give me a
workaround to make my translation work?

Thanks,
