Would it be possible to enable by some configuration option a "quirks mode" where it is possible to use an RTF as a node-set? Other processors do this by default, and it just makes soooo much more sense to me (and makes it easier to solve a lot of problems). If Xalan wants to remain compliant, then the functionality could still be disabled by default. I'm requesting this because even though it wouldn't be portable, it would be more portable than using xalan:nodeset(). Right now I have to have an <xsl:choose> to support Xalan with xalan:nodeset() and all the other processors I use that cast the RTF->node-set automatically. -- Peter Davis
