The XSLT 1.0 specification doesn't say what happens if the format pattern is invalid, for example, if it contains characters that have a defined meaning in JDK 1.2 but not in JDK 1.1. At the moment the output from Saxon depends on which JDK you are using. So it's not only the non-Java implementors who have problems with this one! As Scott (I think) said, it looks with hindsight like a mistake. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
