I think that this is a real problem. A XML transformation language should (IMHO) be able to produce whatever valid XML you want to produce and it's not the case with XSLT without nasty kludges. I think Dave's suggestion makes sense (even if it's only a partial one) together with an extension to produce references to external entities (something like <xslext:entity select="ent"/>). This would be a very partial solution since it wouldn't transform the entities read in the XML input document back into entity references unless you want to implement a mechanism as nasty as the one which is inserting the entity references in the HTML output methods :( Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric van der Vlist Dyomedea http://dyomedea.com http://xmlfr.org http://4xt.org http://ducotede.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
