When I parameterize my text-output exercise files for the 
operating system, 
I centralize the newline definition as follows:

   <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [<!ENTITY nl "&#xd;&#xa;">]>

and then use <xsl:text>&nl;</xsl:text> in my stylesheet.

Mmm. Its the embedding within <xsl:text> that I missed.
Tks Ken.

I'm pretty sure there are no guidelines for implementers to 
note the nature 
of the operating system end of line sequences during the 
serialization of 
text output files.  Hence I think you are out of luck for a system 
independent approach.

Or move to saxon 7? Note DC response?

Thanks Ken.
