Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, I'm still having problems. I
tried applying a simple version of Mr. Gandhi's stylesheet that should
print just the ANSI characters:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:template match="/resultset">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="65 to 90">
<xsl:variable name="letter"
select="code-points-to-string(.)" />
<p><xsl:value-of select="$letter" /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I receive the following error:
Expected token 'eof' found 'NAME'. 65 -->to <--90
I can't find much of anything on the web about this error. I'm testing
this by opening the XML file in IE6 (the file links to the stylesheet
with <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="glossary.xsl"?>). Any help
is appreciated. Thanks again!

Subject: Re: Needing suggestions for better XSL logic
(Learning from David's answer), I suggest the following XSLT 2.0
stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:my="http://dummy"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/resultset">
<xsl:variable name="here" select="." />
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="65 to 90">
<xsl:variable name="letter" select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/>
<p><xsl:value-of select="$letter" /></p>
<xsl:variable name="htmlFragment"
select="my:getHtmlFragment($letter, $here)" />
<xsl:copy-of select="$htmlFragment" />
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="my:getHtmlFragment" as="node()*">
<xsl:param name="letter" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="here" as="element()"/>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="$here/term[starts-with(termname, $letter) or
starts-with(termname, lower-case($letter))]">
<li><xsl:value-of select="termname" /> (<xsl:value-of
select="termattrs/termdef" />)</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
