Subject: RE: [xsl] output to iso-8859-1 of non-iso characters, what is required action From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 16:20:12 +0100 |

XSLT 2.0 is stricter, it says "must". If you're asking what the spec says, that's the answer. If you're asking why it says that, that's a different question. It's very hard to answer questions about why a WG made a particular decision even if you were at all the relevant meetings - which I wasn't. What one can do is try to invent a rationale that the WG might use to justify the decision if asked. But clearly in this case different users are likely to have different expectations and requirements, so it's a subjective decision. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
