Re: [xsl] VERY special characters :)

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think Mikael might do well to take a good look at the custom output 
method included with XT. (Someone mentioned this is passing -- David C.?) 
The idea there is to represent the desired non-XML characters with tags in 
the output (or rather, elements /attributes in the result tree); then the 
custom serializer picks them up and does the Right Thing with them.

The application, though a demo, might even work out of the box for Mikael: 
the fit seems pretty good.

Find XT at http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html. See the section on "Non-XML 
Output".

Cheers,
Wendell
