I think it may be. I vaguely recall that when I was working on the
XMLSpec stylesheets for the W3C, someone reported that IE5 turned
<xsl:template match="XXX">
<tag>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</tag>
</xsl:template>
into "<tag> content</tag>" (or something like that) but
<xsl:template match="XXX">
<tag><xsl:apply-templates/></tag>
</xsl:template>
rendered correctly. This is a bug, plain and simple. I have no plans
to change the stylesheets to work around this bug. The former style
is more readable (IMHO) and easier to maintain.
Be seeing you,
