It will make no difference to the program reading your document whether it's a character or a character reference. Anyhow, you could set the xsl:output to use encoding "ASCII" (provided your XSLT engine recognizes that encoding) to force non-ASCII characters to be output as character entities. > 2.

If you serve you XHTML documents as application/xhtml+xml, Mozilla's probably happy with <script/>. > Textarea is another one. > The trick to do "<script><xsl:text> > </xsl:text></script>" seems like such a hack. Is there a better way? Not a better one, but you can also use e.g. <script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js">//</script> or <script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js"> <xsl:comment /> </script> > 3. html namespace attribute. > > Consider this: > > <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> > <head> > <xsl:call-template name="headers"/> > </head> > </html> > > All the elements that the template headers inserts get an extraneous > xmlns="" attribute. What is the best way to deal with that? Well, different XSLT engines might handle it differently, but you could try declare the XHTML namespace in the xsl:stylesheet instead of the Literal Result Elements, and then not copy/generate the namespace nodes.
