I think the good use for attribute sets is in non-conditional settings. I use them to define styles for FO documents (by keeping them in a separate file that I include for many documents). I'd rather have <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="body"> <!-- Content here --> </fo:block> than <fo:block> <xsl:call-template name="body-format"> <!-- Content here --> </fo:block> because it's one line shorte and because it keeps the attributes in the attribute declaration of the element, which appeals to me.

Instead of an attribute set you can use a named template that consists of a sequence of xsl:attribute statements. It is far more flexible. <xsl:template name="my.set"> <xsl:attribute name="attr">value</xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> <literal-res-elem> <xsl:if test="@condition"> <xsl:call-template name="my.set"/> </xsl:if> </literal-res-elem> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
