[jdom-interest] Help with <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">

[Laurent Bihanic]

Hi,

disable-output-escaping only applies when the XSLT processor outputs the 
result as XML ou HTML. It does not apply when the output is a SAX event flow 
as it is the case when you use JDOMResult.
JDOM receives a sequence of characters and, when requested to ouput the 
document as XML, performs the escaping so that the output XML represents the 
actual JDOM document content. In your case, this content is text.

The only way JDOM could reproduce Xalan behaviour would be for XMLOutputter to 
interpret the <?javax.xml.transform.disable-output-escaping?> PI.
Opinions?
