I don't know why you get the 163113109131 junk. The stuff that follows it
comes from applying the built-in template rules.
It might be useful to set up a template rule that explicitly ignores
elements by default:
<xsl:template match="*"/>
and then add template rules for those elements that you actually want to
process.
Also note that disable-output-escaping has no effect when using
method="text", because this output method never does any escaping.
