Subject: Re: [xsl] xsl:stylesheet vs xsl:transform From: Alex Milowski <alexml@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 16:29:42 -0700 |
I have a question..
The XSLT spec says (both 1.0 and 2.0) that xsl:stylesheet and xsl:transform are 100% identical. Everything that applies to xsl:stylesheet is exactly identical to that applies to xsl:transform .. What is the reason for keeping two syntaxes for the same purpose? Is there some technical reason for this, or there is some other reason?
There was a sentiment that there needed to be a way to differentiate between something that was used to "render" a document (i.e. a stylesheet) verses something that transforms a document into other XML. It isn't enough to look at the output method because certain vocabularies (e.g. XSL FO) are XML output.
Many browsers will render the HTML results of an [xsl:]stylesheet while they will not for one that starts with [xsl:]transform
