A character is a character, and you should go to XML 1.0 for the definition of a character. Also, "parser" is ambiguous in this context as well as having no XML or XSL meaning. XML defines an XML processor, which is often called a "parser" for historical reasons, and the XSL Recommendation uses "parse" without designating a thing called a "parser". > ... > > > > So IMO the spec is currently very vague on this. > > > > Then write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking for a clarification. > > Nice dry wit you have Tony. That was a serious suggestion. You do get an answer eventually, even if you don't like the answer.
