The first thing you need to do is be sure the output is "text".
2) To do a tab<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">	</xsl:text>
3) A line break is:<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
</xsl:text>
The only other thing to remember is that, if at all possible. . . return
this text stream with a excel mime type . . . I believe it is:
application/vnd.ms-excel
This will tell the browser to use excel . . . I know that does not solve the
problem for other speadsheet programs . . . but it works for us over here.
unfortunately . . . csv . . . do not have a mime type assocaited with them
