People create documents in cp1252 and declare them as iso-8859-1. And it all works, because the errors cancel each other out. If we oblige processors to detect this situation we will be asking users to pay for the extra processing cost, and in return the application that worked before will stop working. Will they thank us? Because if they won't, we shouldn't do it. > > In some way just a detail, but: There is currently no XSLT 2.0 > code that will stop working. XSTL 1.0 doesn't have the XHTML > output method.
