Re: [xsl] XML serializer implemented in XSLT

[Oliver Becker <obecker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan,

> http://xmlportfolio.com/xml-to-string/

some things will be reinvented from time to time ;-)
I think David Carlisle was the first who had a simple verbatim XML
formatter, used as part of the Schematron report implementation [1].
Myself, I developed a stylesheet which is nearly the same as yours,
except that it allows coloured output which can be styled via a
CSS stylesheet [2].

It seems you are considering some more circumstances than me
("]]>" for example) and your stylesheet can be parameterized in a 
fairly sophisticated way.

Maybe we can take the best of both worlds and submit it to the
XSLT Standard Library [3]? (Unfortunately I haven't got the time 
yet to look closer at this project ...)

Best regards,
Oliver
