John,
thanks for your insights, we'll put them to good use :)
We tested it only with 2.0.3, which probably explains the problem you've found: in a
time-honoured way, we let the users do the
testing ;)
Regards,
P.S.
John, since the transformer has not been accepted as part of Cocoon, it's more
appropriate not to use this venue for further
messages: you can mail me or Piero directly.
