Re: [xsl] Form feed character () in decoded xs:base64Binary

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could use bin:to-octets, then look for and remove any octets representing
invalid characters... Not easy. The theory is that (if XML 1.1 isn't enabled)
then the xs:string data type doesn't allow a FF character, therefore any
operation that tries to generate one must fail.
