The choice is usually proper HTML, or generic XML that might also be XHTML but that isn't likely to follow the compatibility guidelines. I believe there is one XSLT processor, XT, that does have a separate XHTML output method. See http://4xt.org/ for details, but be warned that development of this processor continues to flounder, and it is not as fully compliant as Saxon, MSXML, 4XSLT, libxslt, etc. (although I and others have used it successfully in production) - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ (*) which involves the outright hack of misdeclaring the document as text/html XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
