Such functions would be more useful than the automatic URL-encoding mandated by XSLT's html output method, IMHO. The URL-encoding in the html output method is only for non-ASCII characters that make their way into an attribute value that one knows (because HTML's DTDs explicitly say so) is supposed to be a URI reference. It is hardly a general-purpose URL-encoder, despite some poor implementations that might be blindly URL-encoding the entire attribute value. I can see how it would be appropriate to have the same automatic functionality in an XHTML output method, though, for consistency. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
