Re: xalan <xsl:element name="name()">

Hi David,
  The syntax --
    <xsl:template match ="elname">
       <xsl:element name="name()">

_gives error with Xalan_. I tested with latest version
2.5.1 . The error reported is 
"Illegal value: name() used for QNAME attribute: name"

But the syntax --       
<xsl:template match ="elname">
  <xsl:element name="{name()}">
works fine..

The syntax producing the error, is not allowed by the
XSLT grammer..

I believe the right syntax --
<xsl:template match ="elname">
  <xsl:element name="{name()}">
would work with Saxon also..

Regards,
Mukul

Saxon spotted this as an error.
The author told me that xalan hadn't reported this
as an error.

Any xalan users around to check this please?
