xml-dev - MSIE XSLT vs. XT XSLT

["Bruce Snyder" <bsnyder@pengroup.com>]

I have an XSL that I'm applying to an XML file to convert from XML to
WDDX. When I apply the XSL using XT, it works just fine. When I apply
the XSL using MSIE it doesn't output the correct content. For example,
the following is a template I'm using:

<xsl:template match="lastname">
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
	&lt;var name='lastname'&gt;
		&lt;string&gt;</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."/>
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/string&gt;
	&lt;/var&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

When this template is applied using XT, I receive the following output: 

<var name='lastname'>
   <string>Sudzuki</string>
</var> 

When this template is applied using MSIE, I receive the followign
output: 

<var name='lastname'> <string></string> 

Can someone tell me why MSIE behaves in this manner? 

Thanks,
Bruce
