Hmm. We could add to this list until the cows come home: - The order of attribute nodes could differ on output - The namespace nodes on output may differ - There might be a different set of attributes in the source tree for different parsers (depending on whether they use validating or non-validating parsers) etc. But none of this is directly relevant to my opposition to xsl:script. -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1 303 583 9900 x 101 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Ste.
