Re: Need to render input document as string form of XM

Understood. The good news is none of the techniques are particularly
innovative (however well executed), so in the worst case you could simply
lift and adapt.

On the other hand, you may also find that a general solution is rather
tricky -- mainly because one's ideas of what makes a good serialization
(including such questions as how whitespace is rendered and/or inserted) may
be somewhat demanding. For example, do you have to take care with quote
marks appearing in attribute values?

So far, I only need this for diagnostic/logging purposes. i.e. it
doesn't have to be parseable or even well-formed (but that would be
confusing)

Are you implying that the xml-2-string.xsl implementation is more robust?

Cheers,
Wendell
