This problem will be further explored on the XSL WG. Some of us also feel the need to solve this ? without generating unbalanced tags if possible.

I can't think of a <UL> example off my head, but the following example is real. The XML is: <SPEECH> <SPEAKER>ROSENCRANTZ</SPEAKER> <SPEAKER>GUILDENSTERN</SPEAKER> <LINE>The single and peculiar life is bound,</LINE> <LINE>With all the strength and armour of the mind.</LINE> <STAGEDIR>Exeunt</STAGEDIR> </SPEECH> and I want to render it in HTML as <TABLE><TR> <TD>ROSENCRANTZ<BR>GUILDENSTERN</TD> <TD>The single and peculiar life is bound<BR> With all the strength and armour of the mind.<BR> <I>Exeunt</I></TD> </TR></TABLE> how do I do that in XSL? I can do it easily, of course, by generating unbalanced tags in CDATA, but I'm told that's cheating. And don't tell me to change the XML, I didn't design it!
