Re: [xsl] strip-spaces

[Steven Ericsson-Zenith <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's cool, but very specialized. I am thinking of the more general  
purpose cases.

Resource specification of some form is essential. Essentially this is  
because I do want to tie name spaces to operations upon that name  
space. This should be flexible enough to allow for multiple contexts -  
and the mechanisms may already exist to meet that need. I just need to  
spend some time with it.

With respect,
Steven
