Because I'll be doing stuff like

&lt;input type="checkbox" name="<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>" value="yes"&lt;?php; if ($value == 'yes') { echo " checked"; } ?&gt;&gt;

and other ugliness. You're allowed to say 'yech!' at this point, but so
far, it's been working great for me.

In what way is this non-portable? Is there some behaviour that is
allowed to be differing per implementation in the xslt spec that is
going to bite me?
