sure, but not when i have a 1000 of them -- makes it too
messy in appearance. i might have to introduce a macro-preprocessor
(a real one, not this sgml stuff).
plus, i'd like the option of getting them skipped altogether,
for no runtime overhead.

something like this?


<xsl:param name="debug-flag" select="0"/>

....

<xsl:if test="$debug-flag &gt; 0">
  <xsl:message>foo</xsl:message>
  <xt:document href="debug-trace.txt">....</xt:document>
</xsl:if>

....

xt file.xml style.xsl out.xml debug-flag=6
