RE: [xsl] Result tree fragment to string?

In other words, you need to modify the RTF but you are forbidden to 
modify the code that generates it? :-)

Exactly!  

And there is good reason for this:  separation of concerns.  One team
generates the RTF (code which is extensive and complex); another team
modifies the result to meet a specific need.

For this, you really have no choice but use XSLT 2.0, a node-set() 
extension in 1.0, or output the RTF (along with whatever else you 
need) as an intermediate result to be processed in a discrete step.

That's what I thought.  I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed
anything.

Or is it possible simply to override the logic that generates it with

your own, or bypass it entirely?

Regrettably, no.  

Thanks much for thinking through this with me!
