Re: [xsl] Posting XML data [OT - sorry]

[S Woodside <sbwoodside@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike I don't see why you're so pessimistic about it? I don't think that 
we'll see XForms implementations in browsers for some time so it's best 
to work with HTML forms for now. Sure there's some idiosyncrasies to it 
but it does work, so long as the user on the UA side sticks to regular 
ASCII text, and they can use entities to encode other characters. That 
said I can see that there would be difficulties using languages other 
than english. But you pointed out that there's server-side solutions to 
that.
