definition item id
I thought it was necessary initially, but the following xml and xsl display "Hello World" in IE6 whether the doctype in included or not.
Am I msising something ehre?


doit.xml
=========
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ELEMENT root (item)>
<!ELEMENT item (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST item id ID #REQUIRED>
]>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="doit.xsl"?>
<root><item id="x123">Hello World</item></root>

doit.xsl
=========
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">


<xsl:template match="id('x123')">
     <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

yes, the attribute does not need to be called id the only thing that
matters is that it has been declared as type ID in a dtd.

> - it isn't a function or is it?
It's a function, it takes a string valued argument and returns a node
set.
