Re: [xsl] Embedding XML in another XML

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is easily achieved in XSLT 3.0 using the fn:serialize() function:

<element>{
  serialize($innerXML)
}</element>

With a 1.0 processor you may be able to implement serialize() as an extension
function.

this does not seem like a sustainable way of working with long and deep
