That's news to me. I always write my style sheets as if
d-o-e always defaults to "no", and they happen to work.
What's the source of your wisdom?
Er, Mr. Kay's reference book, but I must be confused by the entry for
<xsl:text/> (on page 323 it says the default value of d-o-e is "no"; on the
next page it says it's "yes").
I don't see why the output method should be relevant in this
case either.
My point is if a node-set contains only HTML markup, you can avoid the whole
output-escaping issue by setting output to HTML and using <xsl:copy-of/>.
And if the foregoing is true, then <xsl:value-of/> won't do what you want
anyway. Something I wasn't explicit about in my first reply, and my
apologies.
