This won't work because I'm not processing HTML, I'm trying to output it.
Here is an example that will illustrate my problem:
Example 1 (XSL):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html><body><img/><br/><a><img/></a></body></html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Example 1 (Output):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html><body><img/><br/><a><img/></a></body></html>
Example 2 (XSL):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html><body><img/><br/><a><img/></a></body></html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Example 2 (Output):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html><body>
<img>
<br>
<a><img></a>
</body></html>
As you can see, there is an inconsistancy in the way \n's are being
handled...I don't believe the XSL specification states that whitespace be
*added* when it isn't in the source XSL.

I don't believe this will work. <xsl:text/> doesn't like having "<" or ">"
characters in its body.
I hope this clarifies my problem. I'm surprised no one else has run into
this situation before (it may be my environment, but I'm using the RPMs from
xmlsoft.org, so I don't think its anything I'm doing to it). I'm also
positive it doesn't have anything to do with AxKit or XML::LibXSLT, since I
can replicate this problem through "xsltproc".
