Hi,
This won't work.
If you took the results of this transform and gave them to SAX
ContentHandler you'd get a 'characters' call with the string
"­", not with the single character represented by U+00AD.
Also, if you re-serialised the result, you end up back where
you started: & a m p ; # 1 7 3 ;
Dan.
ooops, engage brain. Of course you will need use d-o-e on the text nodes to
ensure your newly form ­ text string isn't serialized back out to
­... (which is what wendell was saying in the first place)
cheers
andrew
