Hi Folks,
Michael Kay wrote this response to a StackOverflow question [1]:
Saxon's default collation is Unicode codepoint, which is fast
but not smart. Setting lang="en" will immediately give you a
smarter natural-language collation. There are then many
options to refine it further.
QUESTIONS
1. Does Michael's response mean that, to set the collation, I can use the
xml:lang attribute instead of the default-collation attribute?
2. Would you please give an example of a comparison where the result of the
comparison is true when xml:lang="A" but false when xml:lang="B"? That is,
what values would you place in here:
<Test xml:lang="__">
<xsl:value-of select=" '__' lt '__' " />
</Test>
/Roger
