Brain Minchau asks: >How are you using <xsl:message>? Okay, I'll start.
I am using it strictly in interactive usage, either for progress tracking messages or for debugging. Most of the time, the location information is either desirable or not a problem. It would be nice to have an attribute (e.g., xalan:location-info="no") to control it. I would also be interested to hear if anyone has warmed up to the notion that xsl:message can emit something other than a string. The spec (part 13) grants leeway for xsl:message to issue elements or whatever, though I think strings in the body should never be ignored. .................David Marston
