Hi,
Old thread (I'm just back from Europe). I have seen xsl:element used (and heard it defended) by developers who are using particular pieces of XML-aware software that require DTDs to support some features such as content completion (and not just for validation). By sticking to xsl:element and xsl:attribute, they can write stylesheets using elements only in the XSL namespace and conforming to a nominal XSLT DTD. This has always struck me as an argument to use a different tool. Be that as it may, it's a reason, and perfectly defensible if you accept the premise that the software being implicated is the only thing that will do.

They aren't wrong, it is a style issue I believe, but was wondering if there is any advantage or disadvantage to this approach. ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ======================================================================
