Arguably it's conformant as a system can do pretty much anything it likes getting from a file on a server to an xpath node tree. basically if an xml file has a <?xml-stylesheet instruction then that stylesheet gets applied _always_ whenever the xml parser is invoked. It's possible to use this as a cheap and cheerful pipelining process, but I think it's fairly broken really. It bit me as I had <?xml-stylesheet instructions on my stylesheets coverting them to html for documentation purposes, and it was this html that was being applied rather than the stylesheet itself if any other document referenced a stylesheet, that is nothing worked until i removed the documentation stylesheet reference. Worst was the documentation stylesheet which had an xml-stylesheet link to itself and put mozilla into an infinite loop (this was accepted as a bug and fixed as I recall). I think that (in both ie and mozilla) one can access the original xml dom and the transformed dom from script, so the information is there, somewhere, but it's a while since I looked into this... couldn't find my old report (bugzilla doesn't seem to go that far back) but https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305121 appears to be relevant (and recent) David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
