[xsl] unwelcome SPAN in text output

["Arthur Allen" <arthur_allen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been trying to prepare a tab-and-newline-delimited load file
for mysql, and am finding my output
file cluttered with unwanted <SPAN> elements! It looks
to me like I am in a twilight zone between text & HTML.

E.g., instead of

usfr-gc_GeneralConcepts	en	"US GAAP - Commercial and Industrial"
int-ar_AccountantsReport	en	"Accountants Report"

I get the following, which BTW looks ok on the screen:

<SPAN S_='02493EA0 12'>usfr-gc_GeneralConcepts</SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 
13'>	</SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 14'>en</SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 
15'>	</SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 16'>"</SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 17'>US GAAP - 
Commercial and Industrial</SPAN>

This happens regardless of whether I use Saxon (6.5.2) or the
processor native to Stylus Studio, but not using MSXML3.0.

My code runs as follows...
<?xml version='1.0'?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

	xmlns:taxo="urn:taxonomy-analysis:xslt"
	xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";
	xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
	>
	<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates 
select="taxo:all/taxo:itemTable/taxo:item/taxo:label"/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="taxo:label">
		<xsl:variable name="ID" select="parent::taxo:item/@taxo:name"/>
		<!--emit ID,language,label tuple-->
			<xsl:value-of select="$ID"/>
			<xsl:text>&#x9;</xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="@xml:lang"/>
			<xsl:text>&#x9;</xsl:text>
			<xsl:text>&quot;</xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="."/>
			<xsl:text>&quot;</xsl:text>
			<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks for your attention,
Arthur Allen
