Re: [xsl] XML access control by custom ID

[ac <ac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I believe that we understand what you have stated, and as Michael 
already asked you, "how do <administrator> and <anybody> come into play 
here?"

When you wish for output:

<a access="read; write" some_attributes="xyz" my_id="1">
  123
</a>

How does the stylesheet know if<a>  is "administrator" or "anybody" ?
Your output seems to imply that it is "anybody" but why? how? what about<b>?
How is that figured out, without having the output already? Or, if it based on the output being an input, what is the question?

Cheers,
ac
