xsl underscore problem

I'd love to see how much memory XSLT would require for the same file
:-). Seriously, this sounds like your program is storing much of the
data in memory for some reason or another. You can always use temporary
files instead of buffers it you want to cut down on the RAM
requirements, or see if it is really necessary to store all this info. A
simple transform in OmniMark requires very little RAM.

Never heard of the underscore problem, though it does have issues with
colon's. To get around this, you need to quote element names.

	element "foo:bar"
		...

As I said before, the DTD requirement is going bye-bye.
