I agree with you that there is no such prohibition regarding the use of mode, name and match attributes in a xsl:template. Apache Xalan does not mind. However, the MSXML parser does and it has tripped people up before. Me included.
You had better ask Microsoft to fix their bug, if you really got stuck. They have open feedback center to accept bug reports.
I'll file a bug about the template error. When someone is said to be talking 'Twoddle' it means they are talking 'rubbish' or 'nonsense'.
Oh, useful. Am pretty sure that I will use it in the near future. Atsushi Eno _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
