Thanx Wendell.Since I have been always running saxon with an html output
file,I always thought that the browser output will have <year>2000</year>
rather than 2000 which ofcourse is wrong.I should have checked my html code
atleast.Sorry folks for the trouble I guess my mind and friday is fighting
too hard. :)
