Hm .... Apologies. ... That's the trouble with mailing lists. You sometimes think for 2 seconds and type for 30. :) It *would* be possible to handle the DOCTYPE issue. By providing appropriate values for the doctype-public and doctype-system attributes on xsl:output the output document could have the DOCTYPE declaration appropriate to a REC (or later draft). Of course, you are left with the practical problem of finding an XSLT-literate person who is also sufficiently on top of different versions to actually write a stylesheet. And who has the time and inclination to do so. Andrew WattReceived on Thursday, 5 September 2002 05:50:53 GMT
