RE: [xsl] Converting CSV to XML without hardcoding schema details in xsl

Thanks Michael for the info.

I spent a lot of time trying different things to get item-at() to work. It
seems to be still present in the xquery spec - but I was not able to refer
it from that namespace and get it to work in my xsl - is that even possible?


Regards,

Vish.
