Re: [xsl] a bit of distraction ' quiz of XSLT 1.0 oddities'

Not too sure if this is an oddity of XSLT or of my parser (Xalan in 
cocoon) but I found that if the xsl:attribute value is not defined as 
the first thing, it is ignored completely. Eg

....
<img>
    <xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of 
select="some-value"/></xsl:attribute>
    <height>12</height>
</img>

will work

<img>
       <height>12</height>
      <xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of 
select="some-value"/></xsl:attribute>
</img>

will not.

This may seem obvious to some people, but it actually wasted a lot of 
time for us.
