The section of the spec you quoted says that you either get a well-formed "external general parsed entity" or you get a well-formed "document entity". Both are well-formed. There is no contradiction here. You are right about the former type of entity not being validatable. My first message ("certainly") was imprecise in this regard. But the second message, in which I said the validatability of the result depends on what logical content the stylesheet author said to produce, was correct, AFAIK. There's nothing that happens during serialization that would affect validation, is there? As long as the result tree represents the correct XML, and the XML output method is used... Mike -- Mike J.
