Is that true,, we can't deprecate and rename some things in a new version of XSLT? Or change the way were doing things? Were declaring the version of stylesheet precisely so things can change right. Maybe some XSLT version should just rename things making it easier to understand quickly? Too many headaches for implementers and book authors? Has anything been renamed in since xslt 1.0? text() deserve this rename treatment. copy-all and copy-root would be more clear. copy-shallow sounds like it could be in between the 2 maybe. -- - Alex Muir http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/alex-muir/36/ab7/125
