Re: [xslt] Executing xslt scripts

[Scott Bronson <bronson rinspin com>]

I'll readily defer to the expertise of this list.  I've abandoned the
idea of making xslt scripts exectuable.

Shame the maintainer didn't take your patch; his solution is mediocre at
best.  Ah well.  Good thing it's not that big a deal.  :)

That's true (and I think I said that).  The spec requires processors to
process well-formed documents, but it doesn't place such restrictions on
files.  Section 2.1 pretty clearly allows a document to occupy only part
of a file.  Even if 2.1 DID claim that a document must occupy the entire
file, section 5.2 allows non-validating parsers to ignore portions of
it.

Anyhow, that's all academic.  :)

Thanks for your time, all of you.
