I had seen this problem mentioned on mailing lists as far back as 1999, but it
still appears to be an issue.

Any Javascript document.write() statement within an XSL file will crash Mozilla
on newer builds. I tried it on some older builds and they simply just showed a
white screen. I was sure to use the recommended xmlns as mentioned on the
Mozilla XSLT Page ( http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform )

Example Code:

--
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="html" />
	<xsl:template match="test" name="test">
		<html>
			<head></head>
			<body>
				<script type="text/javascript">
				<![CDATA[
				 //the alert works fine
				 //window.alert( 'Hello World' );
				 
				 //crashes mozilla everytime
				 document.write( 'Hello World' );
				]]>
				</script>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You can see an example of this in action here (WARNING: Crashes Mozilla):

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a simple XSL File with html body and a script block within the body
2. Use a document.write() statement within the script block 
3. Link XSL file from XML file and open it


Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashes

Expected Results:  
Display the text from a document.write() statement
