On the other hand, the common software practice has been to honour versioning. For example, XML parsers should use different lexical parsers for XML 1.0 and XML 1.0+Namespaces. Regex-based utilities on BSD flavours of Unix allow to choose between basic and extended syntax; and if basic syntax is chosen, any construct from the extended syntax is an error. A C compiler that supports both K&R C (as described in Version 6 Manual) and ANSI/ISO C is expected to report things which are not traditional when invoked in traditional mode. Is 'version="1.0"' a documented hack to quickly use XSLT 1.0 stylesheets with an XSLT 2.0 processor without warranty? Would not a transformation expressed in XSLT 2.0 that turns XSLT 1.0 into XSLT 2.0, incorporated in or appended to the specification, be more appropriate for this purpose? Ot is it yet another bit I omitted from the draft? David Tolpin http://davidashen.net/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
