The problem is with default character sets. If a browser doesn't use either UTF8 or an ISO-8859-x encoding for its default, high bit characters sometimes turn into either '?' or other nonsensical things. It is a very common problem for non-latin character set people (especially for those like Japanese having multi-byte encodings). By generating an explicit entity rather than getting an inlined character the problem doesn't appear so much (at least not in new browsers). It is a real problem - it just doesn't affect latin character set people very much. -- Benjamin Franz Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute. ---Abelson and Sussman XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
