Microsoft's XSL implementation doesn't support xsl:id. We feel that id definition should be left to the DTD or schema and XSL should just use it if its there. IE5 supports xsl:entity-ref keyword but it is used to generate entity references in the output. See http://www.microsoft.com/xml for more details. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Ferguson [mailto:ferg@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 1999 2:58 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: id() questions Thanks, David. Another clarification question on IDs. If the DTD is available for the XML document and the stylesheet has an xsl:id, does the DTD override the xsl:id? This is related a question I have about entity references (oh, no, not again!). Because external entity references must be expanded, an XSL processor must read in any external DTD. Is the treatment of IDs consistent with the treatment of external entity references? IDs can work without finding and parsing an external DTD, but entity references must be expanded. To be consistent, XSL might have an <xsl:entity name=foo>bar</xsl:entity> An entirely appropriate response to my second question is, "Go away. We're not going to deal with entity-references until 2.0" -- Scott XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
