This is in conflict with what Michael Kay's book says. Given that someone else supported the 2001 post, I'm going to conclude that the author was at least correct in referring to the specifics being asked, and was just wrong about the part where he said that <xsl:apply-templates> does not change the context. Thus the answers to my three questions are: A. No B. No C. Yes I just did a quick test to verify C. above. -David -- "A false conclusion, once arrived at and widely accepted is not dislodged easily, and the less it is understood, the more tenaciously it is held." - Cantor's Law of Preservation of Ignorance.
