He's not normally grumpy, honest :-)

You focussed on the solution to todays problem. The higher level one
that he offered is possibly more important?

I tell my students "if you think you need disable-output-escaping,
then think again because you probably don't and you definitely shouldn't".

XML is balanced. In our years of using XSLT, there is nearly always
a way of using XSLT in a 'balanced' way.

The idea that I found most useful was to stop thinking in 'start' and 'end'
markup and start thinking in 'nodes' (which are balanced).
<tag>
   some content
</tag>

Even if the 'node' is a table row, a table or even a cell.
