Tag minimisation. One of the real experts will be along in a moment to tell
you how to prevent this properly, but the following works:

<div class="othernews">
          <xsl:comment> prevent tag minimisation of DIV - 
                Internet Explorer barfs </xsl:comment>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="feed"/>
        </div>

If '<xsl:apply-templates select="feed"/>' in the above generates nothing
(e.g., if there are no 'feed' elements) the XML would naturally contain an
empty element which would be tag minimised on serialisation (printing to
thee and me). So you put in the xsl:comment essentially to force the tag
to have content, so that it can't be minimised. Don't think this solution
will work for text areas, though - you may have to generate some default
text.
