Re: [xslt] xsltApplyStylesheet and xsltSaveResultTo

["Dave Guerrieri" <Dave_Guerrieri jepplg com>]

Would it be advisable to use xsltSaveResultTo, then, instead of xmlSaveFileTo,
even though I've changed the intermediate tree?

Thank you very much for the quick response.  You have done some very nice work
here!

  yes though there is a lot of other stuff needed for example to
deallocate the right parts and such, but yes something like this should
work ...

  Because a number of parameters of XSLT stylesheets releated to the
serialization are not representable in the intermediate tree, like
the xsl:output parameters.
