Hi folks! The document() function implements the statement: "The data resulting from the retrieval action is parsed as an XML document and a tree is constructed in accordance with the data model (see [3 Data Model])". I would like an unparsed-entity-value() (or perhaps just unparsed-entity()?) function that would read along the lines of "The data resulting from the retrieval action is treated as a stream of literal data characters and returned as a string". This would allow me to insert an XML file referenced in an NDATA entity into my result tree, which I need to do (and have done with DSSSL) when adding a program listing on-the-fly to my output that documents the program listing. Actually ... although I don't need it just yet (I'm assuming I know what my entities are by the context in which they are being used) ... if I wanted to validate that using the above proposed function is appropriate I would need an unparsed-entity-notation-name( string ) function that would return the notation name and a notation-system-id( string ) and notation-public-id( string ). There is no need to acknowledge this ... thanks for listening. ............. Ken
