RE: [xsl] producing php with xslt

["Michael Fitzgerald" <mike at wyeast dot net>]

It's not a PI, but it looks like a PI. You can use
xsl:processing-instruction to produce the desired output, nonetheless.
Otherwise, you could use CDATA sections, which might be compared to goto
statements in C. The Kernighan and Ritchie description of goto is apt for
CDATA sections: "infinitely-abusable." [1]

That's the problem.  It's not an xml processing instruction.  It's a PHP
tag.  XSLT is trying to use it as some kindof processing instruction, but it
shouldn't.  I want it to output that literally into the result xml, which is
html and php.
