Sorry to be picky, but this really makes it sound like the PI should be put 
in the stylesheet. I rewrite it below (and also correct grammar bugs).

   +<faq>
   + <question>Why doesn't <code>xsl:output</code> work?</question>
   + <answer>
   +  <p>The Cocoon project doesn't implement the <code>xsl:output</code> 
feature for XSLT
   +  because we believe it breaks the separation of concerns and doesn't 
match the
   +  internal Cocoon architecture.</p>
   +  <p>On the other hand, we do understand the importance of
   +  specifying how the content should be presented to the requesting 
client. For this
   +  reason, Cocoon uses the <code>cocoon-format</code> processing 
instruction to
   +  tell the engine which formatter to use to format the transformation 
output.
   +  So, by placing:</p>
   +  <source><![CDATA[<?cocoon-format type="text/html/loose"?>]]</source>
   +  <p>in the source document (rather than the stylesheet), you indicate 
the page containing this processing instruction should be
   +  encoded and sent using the formatting properties contained in your 
<code>cocoon.properties</code>
   +  file, associated to the type <code>text/html/loose</code>. Please look 
at the
   +  configuration file to find out more about the formatting parameters 
available.</p>
