Re: [xsl] Unsupported symbols

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter--

It can't be done directly, since these characters can't be handled 
internally and can't legally be serialized as XML.

On the other hand, if you are willing to represent your non-XML characters 
in some conformant way (for example, as an element, <char n="x000C"/>), a 
serializer that creates non-XML output can be wired to create it.

A facility to do something like this was included in the release of XT, 
James Clark's XSLT processor. See http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html, under 
the heading "non-XML output". XT is open source, so this facility could no 
doubt be emulated in Xalan.

Regards,
Wendell
