[xsl] Re: empty element sabotages xsl:key

["Nick Ridout" <costempd at us dot ibm dot com>]

Thanks Dimitre.  Guess it must be a Xerces problem :-(.

I just tried ASCII XML Tree Viewer 1.0 (Written by Jeni Tennison and Mike
J. Brown).  When I uncommented xsl:strip-space elements="*" I got a
mixed-up tree (one missing element with it's child "adopted" by the
previous parent).  Their XSL doesn't use keys so apparently the problem
isn't just with keys.  My sample XSL didn't have xsl:strip-space so I can't
pin the problem on that either.  When I remove the element with the null
attribute, the Tree Viewer works correctly with or without xsl:strip-space.
