Re: [xsl] Removing namespaces without escaping CDATA???

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

The declaration, <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="qnames" /> seems
to have a shortcoming. It's not generic; in a sense that it is global
(all elements anywhere in the tree will be affected by it).

Apart from the global declaration <xsl:output
cdata-section-elements="qnames" />, I think the language should
provide this option at an element level also (something like,
xsl:element name="qname" cdata-section="yes"). The element level
declaration will override the global declaration.

Any comments please..
