Re: HTML in XML?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

/ Paul Tchistopolskii <paul@xxxxxxx> was heard to say:
| Why not adding something like:
| 
| <xsl:template match="*">
|  <xsl:element  name="{name()}">
|    <xsl:copy-of  select="@*"/>
|    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
| </xsl:element>
| </xsl:template>
| 
| This should copy any 'unknown' tag as-is ( with attributes ).
| If you are concerned about mistypings e t.c. you can do more 
| sophisticated match="tag | tag1 | .."  ( and then 
| add  match="*" to report : "Bad tag".)

Another approach would be to to make the template match html:* and
use the XHTML Namespace to identify HTML content.

| PS. I don't know what happens with (4).

If you're not using the namespace URI "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";,
you're not using XSL.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
