Hi,

after checking with saxon, msxml and sablotron .65

why in a <xsl:if test=""/> does the greater than value '>' not throw an
error but '<' throws one ?
obviously the use of &gt; and &lt; works, no entity comments please...,


Just because it is not *mandatory* to escape ">" in a XML document but just a convenience to provide some consistency with "<"...

And since ">" is simpler to read than "&gt;" I use to inverse the tests in my XSLT transformation to avoid using "<"...

Hope this helps.

Eric
