RE: [xml] periods legal in an NMTOKEN

["David Cramer" <dcramer broadjump com>]

Sigh. I prepared a small test case and xsltproc does fine with NMTOKENs.
Apparently it's something else--either a bug in our xsl that Saxon
misses or a bug in xsltproc that our stuff reveals. I'll try to get a
test case that's small enough to be useful. 

Any chance there's a hidden --quiet switch on xsltproc? It processes the
document fine, despite its complaints. 

Thanks,
David

  Right, give me a sample test case according to
    http://xmlsoft.org/bugs.html

Then I will look into it,

  thanks,
