RE: Outstanding Argument!

:Eddy,
:
:This is off topic for the list, but:
:
:If by "attribute literal" you mean an attribute value literal, "/" is
:allowed in CDATA attribute values. When you're not performing DTD
:validation, all attributes are considered CDATA.
That's exactly it. We are performing DTD validation and the Senior
Engineer wants to use it in an enumerated attribute.

:(Back on topic: it would be kind of tough for XSL if "/" were 
:not allowed in an attribute value.)
I don't know.  But does it allow for

<x:anything David/XSL="David likes XSL"/>  ????

The answer is no, since when it reaches "/" it 
expects the tag to end and you get an error.  
However, you could do David-XSL or David_XSL or even
David.XSL but not the good old "/".  

:
:This is the kind of thing that's pretty easy to test if you 
:have a parser
:you trust.

Thanks for the clarification though.  :-)
