msxml fails to correctly close <link> tags d

问题:

I'm trying to parse a RSS feed using C#, and I need to transform it with XSLT. Here's a snippet of my XSLT:

<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="rss/channel/item" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="rss/channel/item">
    <item>
    <link><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(./link)" /></link>
      </item>
</xsl:template>

Using a random RSS (the corriere della serra), this renders correctly with XML Spy:

<item>
<link>http://www.corriere.it/este(...)2aabc.shtml</link>
</item>
<item>
<link>http://www.corriere.it/cron(...)22a-11de-bb1e-00144f02aabc.shtml</link>
</item>
...

But when using the Microsoft .net tool (either withing my code or using the Visual Studio XSLT debugger), I get:

<item>
<link>http://www.corriere.it(...)11de-aaa2-00144f02aabc.shtml
    </item>
    <item>
    <link>http://corrieredelmezzogiorno.corriere.it/le(...)03131900.shtml
        </item>
    <item>

The </link> markup is not output at all. If I change "link" for "XXX", this works perfectly, but this is unfortunately not an option.

Any idea of what is happening here???

Ok for those wondering, msxml doesn't close link tags while in method="html" mode. If you change the first line to

<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

The above code works perfectly...
