[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Using Entity References in XSL Templates
Thank you Michael and Arjun for clearing this up for me. I'm sorry to pollute the lists with misinterpreted information. It was not clear to me that the "document character set" was always UCS, and I was confused by this passage in HTML 4.01 sec. 24.2, Character entity references for ISO 8859-1 characters: "To support these named entities, user agents need only recognize the entity names and convert them to characters that lie within the repertoire of [ISO88591]." Compare this to 5.3.1, Numeric character references, "Numeric character references specify the code position of a character in the document character set." Since I overlooked the fact that the document character set is independent of the encoding and is always that of [at least the first 256 code positions of] ISO-10646's UCS, then the former statement causes no worry, and I withdraw the case for concern. Thanks for all the additional references, too. *settles down for some reading* -Mike XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
