Earlier I did a quick search for jQuery XSL plugin and found:
http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/javascript/xslt-js-version-3-0-released-xml-xslt-jquery-plugin.html
I don't know if you are building the XML DOM or pulling it through
ajax. I don't know if the above works out of the box with a prebuilt
DOM (should be pretty easy to modify if it does not). But if you need
to pull XML off the server, then the plugin looks pretty simple to
use, e.g.
$('#myid').xslt('bla.xml', 'bla.xslt');

Hmmm, I haven't used XSL before, I'm looking it up right now, but I'm
a bit unclear as to where to go from the point where I apply the XSLT
to the XML. I mean, is this just automatically going to 'work'?

Only thing is, I want the article text to be xhtml-enabled. so
there's

<article>

<text>
And this is some <b>awesome</b> article text.<br/>
It's HTML formatted though, <i>that could pose a problem</i>.
</text>
</article>
I want to grab ALL of the text content inside of the <text> node,
and
just carte blanche throw it in the page.
No, from what you say below you don't want the text, you want all the
nodes: text, elements, etc.
So.. how can I do that? .text() strips out all the html
entities, .html() works what I can best describe as
'intermittently',
and is unsupported for xml documents (only supported for html
docs).... what can i use to just tell js/jquery to "find everything
between <text> and </text>, and stick it in the DOM as xhtml, tags
included"?
The *best* way to handle this type of thing (if you are up for it) is
to use XSL, which works in all browsers. You are looking for the a
modified 'identity transform'. Basically, a modified identity
transform allows you to recursively copy everything you do not
override by a template match.
An example XSL that does what you want:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="article">
<div class="article" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
<h1 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</h1>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Identity template: copies everything not overridden/matched
in
other templates -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
