"conforming" to a spec that does not have an official conformance test suite basically means "We have not come across any non-conformance in our testing, or had any reported that are not scheduled for priority fixing". I think this is fair statement, and that you needn't take it as meaning more. > I think all vendors who are claming 100% conformance > to the XSLT paper really meant : "we *think* we are > 100% conformant - we have not bother to make sure". You'll have to point out the "vendors" claiming "100% conformance" more accurately, because I have not seen that claim on this list. -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1 303 583 9900 x 101 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Ste.
