which is no information at all as you don't say what you expected.

well it's not a tag of course it's just the text <H1>. But that's what
I'd expect you to get. The XSLT rec specifies that in the text output
method you essentially get the same as xsl:value-of ie element nodes
produce no output but their contents are processed so any character data
in those elements will be output.

if you are outputting using the text output method generate text, if you
are outputting using the xml method generate xml element nodes.
