Re: [xsl] XSLT 1.0 serializer for XML

Thanks for the pointer.
I modified serialize-demo.xml to use xml-to-string.xsl and it
produced identical output in the browser.

So what does this section of xml-to-string.xsl do then?
  <xsl:template name="escape-markup-characters">
    <xsl:param name="text"/>
...
    <xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
      <xsl:with-param name="text" select="$ltEscaped"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="']]>'"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="with" select="']]&amp;gt;'"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>

It cannot see the "]]>", correct?


Another question,   <xsl:template name="isDeclaredAbove">
does a recursive search to determine whether a namespace is declared
above the current element.

This seems to work in serialize.xsl and does the same job:
     <xsl:if test="not(.=../../namespace::*) and name()!='xml'">

Is it correct?

It has been done in XSLT 1.0 too:

The XSLT/XPath data model does not know any CDATA sections respectively
does not distinguish between "normal" text nodes and CDATA section
nodes, like the W3C DOM does. So XSLT operates on a tree model where
there are only text nodes.
