Subject: [xsl] element minimisation (again)
Someone just asked me why <node/> was coming out of the
transform as <node></node>. After trying out some of the
processors, it seems msxml x when used with an identity
transform doesn't minimise.
So, this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You have
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates .../>
</xsl:copy>
Msxml could be copying the white spaces and creating
<node>
</node>
And this is not the same as <node></node>
(...)
