RE: [xsl] Why does '#' start a comment in regular expressions with 'x' modifier flag? How can I match '#'?

Now I found out that, at least with Saxon (not sure of 
others), the '#' 
character is considered a comment delimiter when the 'x' flag (ignore
whitespace) is ignored. Furthermore, it does not appear 
possible to escape the '#' character. 


What version of Saxon are you using (and on what platform)? I think there
was a bug in this area in earlier releases but that it works correctly in
Saxon 8.8.
