Hum, AVTs are an escaping meachnism. That would mean you need to define when/where that escaping need to be undone and define XPath for anywhere in the document, there is arbitrary set of informations (like the prefix mappings, variables, current node set, position, ...) that would need to be defined. It doesn't sound that easy to me :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ |
