Re: ENTITY declaration

  I tend to disagree. Someone who is used to reading XSLT code but unused to
  your personal coding style will recognize <xsl:value-of select="."/> far
  more quickly than they recognize &content;.


I tend to disagree as well. Apart from meaning that someone else has to
check what &content; means, 

<xsl:if test="..">
  &content;
</xsl:if>

visually looks to me much more like

<xsl:if test="..">
  stuff
</xsl:if>

than

<xsl:if test="..">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:if>

But the behaviour is very different. With value-of (or any element)
the white space used for indentation is stripped, but with "stuff"
it is not and the text node generated has content "&#10;  stuff&#10;"

Also some XML parsers (notably msxml) default to validation mode when
they see a doctype so try to validate the stylesheet which generates
lots of spurious errors.

  The one thing nxml-mode doesn't do is tell you exactly
  where your document becomes invalid.

It sticks a big red line to mark the spot doesn't it?
