RE: [xsl] Is this the best way to emit one line per occurrence of an xpath?

My only suggestion would be that method="text" is more appropriate here than
method="xml".

Subject: [xsl] Is this the best way to emit one line per 
occurrence of an xpath?

I had to write a simple stylesheet that prints out in text 
form one line of text for every occurrence of a particular 
xpath in an input xml file.
I think I got it working, but I just wanted to ask for a 
critique of this, to see if there are different ways of doing this.

The following is what I have so far:
--------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates
select="/beans/bean[(_at_)singleton!='false']/@class"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@class">
    <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------

This produces output like this:

--------------------------
org.apache.commons.chain.impl.ChainBase
com.wamu.stuff.Gork
com.wamu.foo.Bar
com.wamu.uia.framework.AdapterController
com.wamu.uia.adapter.HttpClientAdapter
--------------------------

Again, this is exactly what I want, I was just wondering 
about alternatives for doing the same thing.
