It's inefficient, yes, but Forrest will address this issue.
Really, how? Last week I tried to figure it out given the constraints of not using the XPath document function or include/import. I could not figure out how to do it. I raised the issue about hard-coded links on the forrest list and only one person took the time to investigate it. I gave a concrete example. Then he (Ivelin) posed the question to group asking if the thread was helpful. I think Steven responded simply with 'yes.' So how will forrest address this? Perhaps a nodeset could be created and cached to be passed into every transformation?? Or just simply use XPath's document function. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
