Apart from the screaming, seems quite reasonable. What if..... I want to put out non-printable control sequences, for wp's that don't use ASCII encoding? Can I use Unicode low end control characters? Does the fact that XSL is XML limit me in some way? (Admission, xml.dcl is something I use, not somethig I understand ;-( Is there a means of getting any random hex digit into the output tree?
