Removing specific XML tag in XSLT mapping

Question

Hi there,
I've asked before about a XML to string XSLT mapping and the answers provided here helped me to successfully do that mapping! Thanks a lot!
I'm using the following mapping to convert a string back to XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:m="http://my.namespace.com">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:for-each select="//m:my_tag">
               <xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
          </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But now, I'm having a problem converting back from string to XML. The response tag "m:mytag" has a string like this:
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><tag1><tag2>Data</tag2></tag1>".
And  when I use the XSLT mapping shown above, the output file comes like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tag1>
<tag2>Data</tag2>
</tag1>
As you can see, the initial <?xml ...> tag is duplicated, and it generates a parsing error in XI.
How can I eliminate one of the "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" strings in the mapping?
Thanks a lot.

Wow!!!
The output="html" actually worked on XML Spy!
Removing the XSLT file initial tag didn't work.
I had already resolved this problem using the replace-string method that I found here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/XSLT/Recipe/65426
But your method is way more elegant and efficient. :o)
I'll test the html method on XI, but I'm almost sure it'll work too.
