some notes from XML Prague XSLT interop session

Notes primarily for Mike and Abel; I think only one item (the first)
might affect the spec itself.

<liam> possible problem, omit-xml-declaration = true|false, vs yes|no
<liam> question asked about text values in value templates as opposed
to copy semantics
<liam> Q from Nic Gibson, with an equivalent to the separator attribute
of xsl:value-of when using templates, and the answer is no, just a
space
<liam> Abel suggest creativity - you can use value-of with a value
template inside, but this turns out not to work
<liam> <xsl:value-of separaor="||">{$n, current-time()}</xsl:value-of>
doesn't work because the braces make a singel text node, not a sequnce
<liam> Abel tries item-separator on xsl-output; works for him but not
for Saxon
<liam> Abel demonstrates different timestamps and shows they're...
dfferent... but not necessarily as expected!
<liam> Topic: streaming
<liam> if Saxon fails to detect that something isn't streamable, it can
fail at runtime with a null pointer exception
<liam> [Mike and Abel conclude their products both have bugs, and
presumably make notes accordingly]
<liam> Topic: packaging
<liam> [problems with circular packaging]
