Thanks for your response.  I get a different answer when I try your
script.  When I view the file in Internet Explorer I get:

So do I (transcript below).

I guess I'd have to ask the committee for a judgement, but I have my own analysis of the specification and I would judge this a bug in IE (there are very few but some of them are gotchas).

XSLT 1.0 section 7.7.1 does talk about format tokens "A" and "a", but in the second paragraph it states that the token can be *any* character that has a Unicode category including "Ll" and "Lu" (lower-case and upper-case letters), and that that the constructed string will start with that token. So I interpret the "A" and "a" as merely example tokens.

So, in my mind, 'E' is a valid token on which to start.

If you are obliged to use IE then the code below would be a work-around you could use. It is a bit brute-force but it works in both Saxon and IE.

I hope this helps.
