I never said it was evil, merely tedious in XSL compared with other syntaxes, when it should have been possible to provide for iterative handling of ENTITIES as it would be for IDREFS. Isn't it curious how so many users who would have thrown up their hands in horror five years ago at the thought of writing stylesheets by hand in -- shall we say -- FOSI or LaTeX, are laboriously typing XSL in Notepad today with every evidence of enjoyment? ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
