[xsl] RE: XSL-List Digest V4 #485

Michael-
  Yes, and treating it as a literal element is *precisely* what causes the
problem. As I said, these are not syntax errors; thus detecting them will
take some semantic knowledge. Were I to write a transform to detect this I'd
simply look for *any* element (not in the xsl namespace) whose element name
begins with the charater string "xsl" (or whatever the namespace prefix is
defined to be). I'd flag any such occurence as "suspect".

For the case I was describing it was in fact <xsl-value-of .../> so there
was no well-formedness error.

So, what's the purpose of the RELAX-NG schema?

Thanks,
 bill

There is already a RELAX-NG schema for XSLT at

http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/xslt.rng

However, for the "error" quoted;

<xsl-value-of ...> rather than <xsl:value-of ...>

I don't think it would complain - it would simply
treat the xsl-value-of as a literal result element.

(presumably the above example was produced with a tool that
managed the tags for you, e.g. added closing tags,
otherwise a well-formedness error would be likely)
