I was suggesting that you prepend <?xml version="1.1"?> to your stylesheet document, hoping that you are then able to apply translate(., '&#xc;', '') to the decoded string.

With xsl:output version="1.1", the form feed is not a problem - Saxon
writes the decoded xs:base64Binary string without any replacements.

However I'm getting weird parsing errors downstream in my RDF toolkit
(which works fine with XML 1.0). I'll try to see what the problem is.

What happens if you use version="1.1" in the XML declaration (of the stylesheet)?

Hi,

I'm transforming large JSON files with some email data using XSLT 3.0.
They contain xs:base64Binary literals which I'm decoding using
bin:decode-string() and want to include the decoded values in the
output XML.

The problem is that some of the decoded string values have illegal XML
1.0 characters in them, such as Form feed (&#xc;).

I want to remove them but cannot find a way.
I can't use translate(., '&#xc;', '') because the stylesheet would not
be well-formed anymore.
I can't even use replace(., codepoints-to-string(12), '') because I
get this error (with Saxon 10.1 EE):

      codepoints-to-string(): invalid XML character [xc]. Found while
atomizing the second argument of fn:replace()

Are there any native XSLT options here?

Thanks.
