It's a standard feature of the language that may only be optionally supported. In particular it only makes sense to support it if you are linearising the result tree to a file or a string etc, some xslt systems (eg mozilla's) output the result as a dom tree and so linearisation hints saying < characters in text nodes should be linearised as < not < don't do anything (and the xslt spec explictly says it can be ignored) having said that this use is really what d-o-e is there for and is a more or less legitimate use, given the input. It is oftn used (and generates much abuse from people on this list when it is so used) to try to generate start tags in one template and closing tags in another, a sign that people have missed the tree-transformaion paradigm of xslt, but grabbing a chunk of escaped XML and outputting it unescaped is more or less OK, but not strictly portable.
