What I do find surprising is when people invent completely new language constructs out of nowhere and hope they will have some desirable effect. Perhaps this is part of the psychology of a permissive language in which most things you write do something, even if it wasn't what you intended: it leads to a "try it and see" culture. I made the remark as an observation of user behavior, not as a criticism. Mike Kay Software AG XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
