There are well documented ways of varying content-type so you can tell sane browsers what you're sending is actually xml, while maintaining compatability with less capable user agents. Also, using one of the XHTML 1.0 doctypes will make the serialiser use the appendix C compatibility hacks. The output doesn't even need to be valid. Stylesheet (applied to any input): <xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" > <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <p><tt/><br/></p> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Outputs (amusingly bogus): <!DOCTYPE p PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><tt></tt><br /></p> Using the same <xsl:output/> in your transform should give you a result that html parsers old and new don't get too confused over.
