Subject: Media, charset, title attributes for xsl-stylesheet PI From: "Paul W. Abrahams" <abrahams@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 22:12:55 -0400 |
The semantics of the xsl-stylesheet processing instruction appear to be derived from HTML used with CSS. The pseudo-attributes of that PI are `type', `href', `title', `media', `charset', and `alternate'. It's clear to me now how `type' and `href' are used with XSLT stylesheets: `type' should have the value ``text/xsl'' and `href' should point to the XSLT stylesheet file. But what is not clear is what significance if any the rest of the pseudo-attributes have or even might have for XSLT. I've played around with IE5, which seems to silently ignore them. It's possible that `title' and `alternate' would be used by a user agent to select a stylesheet, I suppose, but the CSS cascade isn't applicable to XSLT. And given that XSLT is one level removed from its result namespace, I can't see how `media' or `charset' would apply at all. Any thoughts on all of this?
