Excellent.  I take it 'properties the same' covers vocabulary.  How long
has this been the case?  The 8/18 draft certainly didn't make this clear (a
note, which sounded uncertain), 12/16 made it sound probable (not, again),
and the latest draft sounds much more concrete.

At least XSL seems (now) to be on a rational track as far as vocabulary is
concerned.
