Subject: Re: [xsl] Transforming XML Blockquotes - Mixed Content - XSLT 1.0 Solution From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 23:09:32 +0100 |
> I guess Saxon 8.4 must do that for me - good to know. saxon 8 has many virtues, but being a good test bed for a pure xslt1 solution as opposed to an xslt2 one isn't one of them:-) Backward compatibility mode in recent drafts of XSLT2 is a lot better than it was in earlier drafts but still the intention of that mode is to let correct XSLT1 stylesheets work on an XSLT2 processor. It does not even try to enforce XSLT2 constraints and rules so the fact that a stylesheet that says version="1.0" works on an XSLT2 processor is no indication at all that it will work on an XSLT1 processor. Apart from the fact that result tree fragments no longer exist, you can use the full range of XPath2 and XSLT2 syntax and all the XPath2 functions, all that happens if you say version="1.0" is that those functions that were defined in xslt1 have definitions more closely aligned, but in general any new functionality works the same way in backward compatibility mode as it does in native xslt2, not as it does in xslt1.
