RE: [xsl] encoding shift_jis into an attribute

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matthew,

This works, but it won't work in all processors and all processing 
architectures; and generally speaking we frown on applications of XSLT to 
write tags. :-> (Now I've said that I feel free to let you do whatever you 
want.)

Of course, saxon:disable-output-escaping has the same limitation, but it's 
more explicit about it. You said it puts out the plain Unicode. Does it do 
this even if the xsl:output encoding is (say) ASCII?

Cheers,
Wendell
