I reviewed the XSLT 1.1 requirements document, and noticed that it still does not provide support for outputting unparsed entity declarations. This is a critical feature that severely limits the use of XSLT in many organizations. It is impossible to do a simple identity transformation without it. For example: <!DOCTYPE foo [ <!NOTATION gif PUBLIC "+//ISBN 0-7923-9432-1::Graphic Notation//NOTATION CompuServe Graphic Interchange Format//EN" "" > <!ENTITY foo SYSTEM "foo.gif" NDATA gif> ]> <foo graphic="foo"/> This instance is impossible to copy without the ability to generate unparsed entity declaraions, and preferably notations. Please finish the job with XML 1.0 support before adding a bunch of new features that, while probably cool, do not have much of a direct impact on everyday work as this feature does.
