Description Boris Erdmann 2002-02-10 11:54:41 UTC 
when transforming with <xsl:output method="text"/>
xsltproc produces no xml elements.

I did not find about this in the Spec, but i think
it should be left to the stylesheet to produce
xml Elements or not.

Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2002-02-10 14:19:38 UTC 
You cleary didn't read the spec. 
Section 16.3 Text Output Method
---------
The text output method outputs the result tree by outputting the
string-value of every text node in the result tree in document order
without any escaping.
----------
The string-value of a node is defined in XPath, it has nothing to do
with XML serialization of elements. Please red those specs.

Please do not report as bug things you guessed, refer to the
spec to get your fact first, then report bugs if there is a
deviation from the standard,

  thanks,

Daniel
