:) OK, had that coming. I realize this is not exactly what xslt was
intended for, but it's been a tremendous lot easier than writing perl or
php scripts to output php scripts. Not to mention a great deal faster
and readable. And fun, let's not forget that.

It doesn't strictly require you to, but I don't see how else I would
achieve the wanted result of there being

<input type="checkbox" name="{@id}" value="yes"<?php if ($value == 'yes') { echo " checked"; } ?>>

in the output (with {@id} replaced by its value of course).

OK, so with output method=text I'd have to write all the '<'s and '>'s
as entities, and I'd be on my merry way? That'd be relatively little
pain to get what I want.
