Urgh, this approach to generating multiple different documents from
the single xsl template is broken by design :-(

You're lucky that omit-xml-declaration works here - the XSL code is
still generating what it thinks is XML here - it just happens you're
ok since you've only needed to generate a single line.

This should have been done by having separate <template> elements,
so we could then have  <xsl:output method="xml"/> and
<xsl:output method="text"/> for the respective documents.

Regards,
Daniel
