Re: [xsl] Working with entities and notations

[Brandon Ibach <brandon.ibach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Information like the notation of an entity is beyond what the XPath
Data Model deems important enough to include, so I doubt you'll be
able to access it from XSLT.

This looks like an SGML instance, rather than XML, so I imagine you'd
need some sort of proprietary method to apply an XSLT, anyway, such as
might be provided by your SGML editor.  Perhaps some sort of script in
the editor might be a better option for making minor modifications
without losing any of the doctype or entity declaration details.
