The XSL Working Draft seems to make it impossible to generate an HTML file with embedded Java Script. "Impossible" might be too strong a word, but I can't find any method to get the literal character '<' into my generated file. So, if you're interested in doing Java Script comparisons, you seem to be limited to equality and inequality. I can only see three reasons for this... 1) I've missed something and there is a way to do it, but it's not obvious 2) The XSL Working Group made a gross oversight 3) There's some extremely good reason for this design decision, but it's not obvious If we're looking at case two, then I'd like to suggest a revision to section 2.4.4. Since we already have a way to generate < I think we ought to make <![CDATA[<]]> put the literal character '<' in the generated file. If we're looking at case three, then I'd like say that, IMHO, the well-formedness of the generated document is not so important that we should prohibit the author from putting in characters that need to be there. -- Andrew Andrew Bunner President, Founder Mass Quantities, Inc.
