        ACK.

        I'm not confined to XSLT, actually.  With the help of, e. g.,
        Perl's XML::LibXSLT, I could probably implement binary output in
        a way that won't preclude the use of a multibyte encoding
        (UTF-8) for the rest of the output.  OTOH, I could probably
        implement the whole procedure in, e. g., Tcl.

        Isn't it the same issue as [1]?
