The output is technically correct, but I could understand that it's a bit=
 =

confusing.

Our writer chooses not to escape '>' to '&gt;' to improve readability of =
the =

output.  This is perfectly legal.  Escaping of '<' to '&lt;' is mandatory=
, =

however.

If you let us know what output you want, we can help you get it.  Perhaps=
 you =

want to use <xsl:text disable-output-escaping=3D'yes'>.
