Tiffany,

This is only incidental to your question, but instead of:

>all our stylesheets build <meta> tags as follows:
>
>	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
>		&lt;meta name="keywords" content="</xsl:text>
>	<xsl:value-of select="search_keywords"/>
>	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;</xsl:text>
>

you may want to promote your "meta" tag to a fullblown element, and write it
out as:

<xsl:element name="meta">
...contents here
</xsl:element>

This looks like one of those cases wherein you *don't* need
disable-output-escaping (d-o-e)

Regards,

--A
