RE: pi() giving wierd problems.

[Joshua Allen <joshuaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, pi() is not part of the current XSLT/XPath specs, and 
was implemented along with the earlier working drafts.

Check out:
http://www.dpawson.freeserve.co.uk/xsl/N6145.html

for more info on the new way to do PIs.  See
http://www.netcrucible.com for more info
on getting the latest MSXML and a test tool that
gives you fairly good error informatgion about your
stylesheets..
