Lorenzo,
quoting from the "XSLT 1.0 - W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999":
"The xsl:value-of element is instantiated to create a text node in the result tree.
The required select attribute is an expression;
this expression is evaluated and the resulting object is converted to a string as if
by a call to the string function."
Therefore, every tag in the "select" expression is deleted, only the text remains: try
converting, say, "aaa <p>test</p> bbb" with
and without the "disable-output-escaping", the result will always be "aaa test bbb".
Think of "xsl:value-of" as an flattener of XML elements :)
Best regards,
