RE: running msxml3 from command line

Chris,

The reason that your stylesheet is breaking is that the newest MSXSL
processor is more strictly conformant.  xsl:apply-templates instructions may
not contain PCDATA nodes (only xsl:with-param or xsl:sort element nodes)
according to the spec.  Since the xsl:apply-templates instruction has an
xml:space="preserve" attribute in-scope, the whitespace nodes surrounding
the xsl:with-param instructions are preserved, and thus the error.

In the opinion of you and other list-dwellers:
1. Is this truly the conformant behavior? (in which case XT and Saxon have
bugs)
2. Even if it is conformant, should processors enforce this, as it is quite
inconvenient to work around?  Maybe invalid whitespace-only nodes within
instructions should just be ignored.

I can't say without seeing your docs but that is an error from the parser
itself not the script. I just installed the july release and am getting odd
errors on stylesheets that did run on the last one. See dirtoftp.xslt. Works
fine in xt and saxon and the last release but spits the dummy with
Keyword xsl:apply-templates may not contain PCDATA nodes.
ho hum
