the problems
that come with d-o-e are all related to the fact that, unlike almost
everything else you do in XSLT, what this feature controls is the
serializer that writes the output to a file, not the processor that
generates the output (the "result tree") to begin with.
There are other aspects of XSLT that exist solely to control serialization,
notably xsl:output. However, what makes d-o-e particularly pernicious is
that it requires "out-of-band" communication between the transformer and the
serializer: it requires individual characters in the result tree to have
properties that are not visible in the data model.
