Hallo,
we want to hold the charset of the stylesheet flexibel. Is it well formed to
give no encoding in the xml declaration but in the output element?

Many thanks,
markus

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

<xsl:processing-instruction name='output'>
  <xsl:text>method="html"
</xsl:text><xsl:text>encoding="</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$etc/et[attribute::name = 'charset']" /><xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:processing-instruction>

</xsl:template>
