RE: [xsl] dynamic grouping of tabular data; one or two transformations?

["Chris Bayes" <chris at bayes dot co dot uk>]

Q1) yup you will always get utf-16 if you transform to a string at any
point because strings are encoded as utf-16. see my previous post
because transforming to an object usually gets around that.
Q2) don't worry about it. The antibiotics will clear it up or it will
all come out in the wash.

Although this looks a bit suspect

It should be 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
?Is it a typo?
