Getting unescaped XML from a transform

Hello,

I have a stylesheet that contains C# functions to generate XML.  When I
apply the stylesheet to my document, everything works perfectly except
the data I get back is escaped like so:

<test>this is a test</test>

I need to get <test>this is a test</test> rather than the escaped data.
Any input would be appreciated.

Stylesheet

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:user="http://mycompany.com/mynamespace">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="user">

<![CDATA[
    string createStatement(XPathNodeIterator root){
        return "<test>this is a test</test>";

    }

]]>
</msxsl:script>
<xsl:template match="/" >

        <xsl:value-of select="user:createStatement(.)"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Code that does the transform:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string stylesheet = args[0];
            string filename = args[1];

            //Create the XslTransform and load the stylesheet.
            XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
            xslt.Load(stylesheet);

            //Load the XML data file.
            XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(filename);

            //Create an XmlTextWriter to output to the console.
            XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);
            writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
            //Transform the file.
           
            xslt.Transform(doc, null, writer, null);
            writer.Close();

        }

Well you pass back a string and not any data types the XSLT engine
recognizes as nodes to be processed (like XPathNavigator,
XPathNodeIterator).

disable-output-escaping is not supported when transforming to an
Xml(Text)Writer.
