Thank you ... by downloading your test I found the difference. Thinking about possible causes, what version of MSXML do you use? It isn't a difference the version of the MSXML processor ... the difference turns out to be in the stylesheet markup. This took a while to narrow down, but the example below shows that MSXML modifies its behaviour when the stylesheet literal result element is in the HTML namespace. There is only a one-line difference between manfred.xsl and manfred3.xsl, that being the namespace declaration. So we were both right about our respective tests ... we were just comparing apples and oranges. But still MSXML is going beyond the specification by noting the choice of empty element syntax used by an XML instance. Stylesheet writers cannot depend on this in the general case as it is an MSXML quirk. An interesting exercise, Manfred ... thank you. . . . . . . . . . . . .
