Re: XML on Gecko
 Thanks for all the help. I've got a few more questions and comments.

I'm not familiar with 'identity transform'. I assume that is some XSL
function that retains XML markup as opposed to transforming it.

Well, yes, you would think so. My problem is that IE5 processes my entities,
in the internal subset, when I use an XSL ss but not when I use a CSS ss.
What gives? Do I have to pre-process my document using XT to resolve the
entities? Is that the problem?

You can look at http://pdbeam.uwaterloo.ca/~rlander/Testing/about.xml for
xml+xsl
You can look at http://pdbeam.uwaterloo.ca/~rlander/Testing/about2.xml for
xml+css

The files are the same but the second lacks the XSL PI that the first
includes.

The XSL ss is more mature than the CSS one, so don't expect much in terms of
aesthetic appeal from the second doc.

Yes, above.

Thanks,

Richard.
