This fails to mention that if your XSLT contains an <xsl:output> tag, it will be ignored by XMLTransform()unless you set "omit-xml-declaration=yes". You also -cannot- run your XSLT through the <cfxml> tag or it will also ignore your <xsl:output> tag.

The only way to ensure that your <xsl:output> declaration works with XMLTransform() is by using <cfsavecontent> (you can use <cfinclude> inside it if an external file) to get the XSLT in a variable and setting omit-xml-declaration to "yes" in the <xsl:output> tag.
