  The problem is not to use an xmlOutputBuffer, the problem is related
to the fact that a number of information stored in the stylesheet are needed
to serialize the tree according to informations provided in the stylesheet.
I suggest to use the xsltSaveResultToXXX() families of functions of libxslt
   http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/html/libxslt-xsltutils.html
   
  Otherwise there is no garantee that the output will be conforming to the
the rules provided by the stylesheet.
