Yes you assume correctly David.

maybe, but I could not leave out something that might have
created my problem.

yes I want the ( and ) surounding the <xsl:value-of
select="//para/@secur.classif"/>
to be literal, and appear.  I don't want to deal with all the &gt& stuff,
besides I'm
not sure wher I put the info, and need to work rather quickly.  

However the white space does not appear so it is stripped, somehow.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying here by <xsl:text>(</xsl:text>.
I realize that is xsl, and should be nested within the template match, but
exactly where?  Will that replace my regular text?
