You are right - it was remiss of me to post my questions like that. I'll
pay attention to my titles and post each question separately in future.
Many thanks, btw, for hosting this list and for maintaining the quality by
running a tight ship.

Subject: Re: [xsl] Understanding XSLT Questions
Questions that arise in other discussions, such as
www.understandingxslt.com are welcome on XSL-List. However, I
would prefer that they were posed in a way that made them a
useful part of the XSL-List archive.
So, I would have preferred that this posting were 3 separate
messages, each with a subject line that described the subject
of the question. That way people searching the XSL-List
archive are more likely to find this information, and to
think it is relevant to their question. Instead of:
"Understanding XSLT Questions", your subject lines might have been:
- poor string handling in XSLT 1.0
- Firefox rendering document with invalid character
- documentation for Transformiix XSLT engine
Nothing exciting here, but far better pointers to the content.
Thanks for using better subject lines on XSL-List in the future.

Over on www.understandingxslt.com we are working through Jeni
Tennison's Beginning XSLT book.
A number of questions have come up and not been answered. We're all
relative newbies over there so there's nobody to provide
authoratative
answers to these questions.
I'm just wondering if anyone here can answer any of them:
1 Why does XSLT 1.0 have relatively poor string handling
capabilities?
2 When attempting to view an XML document that contains an invalid
character (for the encoding) in IE it complains that the XML
document
is invalid and displays nothing. However in Firefox the document is
rendered but the character is shown as a black diamond containing a
question mark. Shouldn't Firefox reject the document?
3 Where's the documentation for the Transformiix XSLT
engine that's
embedded in Firefox? What extensions are supported? Is it
scriptable,
etc? Most links seem to point to the Netscape DevEdge site
which is no
longer there.
Any views or comments would much appreciated.
Regards
George
