Re: Re: DOCBOOK: xt and newwest XML stylesheets HOW?


/ Jirka Kosek <jirka@kosek.cz> was heard to say:
| If you will download Saxon, download Saxon 6.2.1. Newer versions of
| Saxon contains bug (although Saxon's author will describe it as full
| conformance to XSLT spec) which makes chunking stylesheet useless.

Alas, this bug exists in all versions of Saxon. I don't know why it
didn't get noticed for so long. (There's a special distribution at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook that you can use to demonstrate
the bug and easily test other processors.)

There will be an XSLT erratum (er, I actually have the action item to
write it ;-) that describes the problem and I expect future versions
of Saxon to behave correctly.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
