[xsl] Subject Lines on XSL-List

["B Tommie Usdin btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Subject lines on XSL-List are very important. Not only do the connect messages
into a thread for many readers, they also make the content of questions and
their responses available in the list archives.

If you subscribe to the digest version of the list, when responding to a
message please copy the subject line of the message to which you are
responding into the subject line of your message. Using the subject line of
the entire digest means that your message and any responses to it are lost in
the archive and reduces the chances that subscribers will read or respond to
the message.

Thank you for taking the moment or two it takes to provide useful subject
lines on XSL-List.

b Tommie

> Indeed, I often use this approach, especially in cases where the stylesheet
is designed to be called from the command line. But if you want to invoke a
stylesheet that wasn't designed with that in mind, it's still possible to set
any parameter using the ?name=expression notation.
