A personal view: Generally, xsl:message is underspecified in many ways, for example, there is no way of specifying the desired encoding. However, it's clear I think that the content of xsl:message is intended to be an XML document, and therefore while it is executing, this document is "the result tree"; and therefore it is valid it disable output escaping. However, since the spec says nothing about how the output of xsl:message is serialized, it's not clear what the semantics of disable-output-escaping might be. Mike Kay
