Jeni,
Bizarre! I guess it might make sense, for development, *if* the tag set were large and nasty enough to make it worth the overhead. But it seems like alot to do to protect against a problem (typos) that really isn't so bad if you build your stylesheet in little steps and test it as you go (as I hope everyone does). (A good development environment should be able to check for you too. Typos should really not be a problem.) For production, no way ... normalize it first. It would just be another thing to break.

I'd welcome other people's thoughts as to whether that's a good idea or not... ====================================================================== 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 ====================================================================== XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
