RE: [xsl] write out xml *with* tags for data island inside xsl??

The hack that will allow both XML data and XSL stylesheets to be embedded in
an HTML document is to code the document as  application/xhtml+xml with the
XHTML elements in the XHTML namespace and the embedded XML data in the null
namespace.

Here is an example:

The hack that willl allow xml data islands to work in both IE and Mozilla is
to add a style attribute to the xml element with the display set to
"none"...

so:

<xml id="dataisland" style="display:none"> ....
</xml>

coupled with:

document.getElementById('dataisland').innerHTML

will give you a copy of everything contained within the start and end xml
element.

Cheers :)
