  Actually, that assuption could be challenged, really. 
This actually allows to get whatever the user need in the end,
the trick would be to use
   xsltproc .... > output 
to get the CR/LF
and
   xsltproc -o output ....

And that's why in my mail I asked you specify how you ran the 
processor, but apparently it was more useful to start debating
who got it right or wrong between Unix and Windows ...

  have you tried -o ?
I will not add a platform specific flag to xsltproc, or 
even worse an extension to xsl:output . Now if there is a way out
with the current stuff can we please check it ? (I can't I don't
have a windows setup to test, that simple.)
