I wrote it for use in generating part of our software at XYZFind. The server
console in our next release has a query language tutorial that requires XML
queries to be displayed in an HTML textarea. (Everyone is free to use
xml-to-string.xsl, by the way.) The xml-to-string2.html document uses the
same basic JavaScript in the importing stylesheet, as I use in our product.
There are a number of times where we've needed functionality like this. At
one point, we implemented an extension element that extended saxon:output. I
never liked that of course, so I decided to try it out myself.

I guess the examples might not speak very well for themselves, so I added a
couple sentences about how it might be useful.
Hope this helps,
