That's the HTML discussed in the > XSL specification. No; XSL outputs XML. If XSL can output HTML, it is because it can be expressed in XML which is what Voyager does. So it needs a URIO to define the HTML namespace and ther URI for the HTML 4.0 recommendationis as good as any. > > If people just want to spit out random < and > all over the place and > > not have any clue or any way of knowing whether the result is well > > formed or not, just use perl or awk or something. > > That's not what we are discussing.

OK well I would say that is outside the scope of XSL. It was discussed earlier, and the idea of a post processing filter that takes XML and spits out some wierd stuff seemed to be that way people thought this should be done. > "If an implementation wishes to use something in the result tree or > stylesheet to control the output of a non-XML representation of the result > tree, it should use the result namespace." But the result namespace is not the same thing as the name of the non-XML representation (whic, not being XML, doesn';t have a namespace). -- Chris XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
