Sorry maybe well-formed was not used in the correct context.
Initially I pass the content through the MSXML parser
with no validation against a DTD. This provides me
with a well-formed XML document..Doc A
Even though Doc A is well-formed XML, it isn't the well-formed
content I want. For example,
<foo>
<b>
text
</b>
</foo>
is well formed but the content I want is
<foo>
<p>
<b>
text
</b>
</p>
</foo>
After I've attempted to 'tidy' the content I do a second pass through
the MSXML this time with validation on. Result: Tidied,well-formed content.

??? If it isn't weel formed it won't get past the XML parser so it will
never form input to the XSL engine. You can't use XSL for documents that
are not well formed XML.
