[oXygen-user] Help needed with XSLT

> 1. Is there a particular XSL list you refer to?

Oh, indeed. See http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/. *The* XSL
list, IMHO.

Oh. Wow. Well, I guess it is quite important, then. But I thought you
said you were using RNG? I'm guessing the final validation is against
a DTD, or else they wouldn't be a problem. (Why? Because in the XDM
those aren't attributes, they're namespace declarations. DTDs don't
know about modern XML, so they look like attributes to a DTD.)

Oh dear; please realize no insults intended. Trial-and-error is a
tried and true method, one on which I certainly rely heavily. I was
just in a bit of a rush, trying to get mail off to you before I had
to go play soccer dad, and up to my eyeballs in projects, here. (One
of which is getting ready for an upcoming workshop on XSLT for
digital humanists, which is why XSLT programming style is on my mind
:-)
