Abbouh, as Wendell pointed out, XSLT treats with nodes, not tags. I suppose it possible that one could trick up the stylesheet to work with strings returned by local-name() to correct the offset, but I think it is fair to say that any solution using XSLT would be very brittle.

Not only that, but if Abbouh is interested in offsets in the result (the output file), not the source ... it's even worse. It would be quite a trick for an XSLT stylesheet to know where a given string *will* be when a tree is serialized....

Cheers,
