I understand this. That's why it's a should, not a must. It's just making it more explicit. > Is there a hidden problem you're not mentioning and you are trying to > solve? Not really. The only perk is that it makes text (that is, XML-unaware) comparisons work a little better when comparing them with the output of Xalan (and Saxon), which I often do to test my stylesheet code. If you decide that you don't want to implement this, that's okay. I figured it was an improvement overall with no real downsides and something that it would take me all of fifteen minutes to fix, so I did it. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
