Question #1: I have several stylesheets using 'key' and 'generate-id',
so I am familiar with their workings and quirks. My question is there
a way to do anything EXCEPT equality compares w/ keys. I have used
work arounds that sometimes make sense and sometimes feels like a hack
(kind of like trying to code sane CSS in I.E. <g>).
I had a recent problem of transforming a string of words seperated by
spaces back into a nested structure. E.g.
<post @tag="reference xml" href="..." />
<post @tag="reference xml xslt" href="..." />
<post @tag="reference html" href="..." />
<post @tag="linux" href="..." />
reference
xml
xslt
html
linux
each word is a folder w/ multiple bookmarks in them (ala. del.icio.us).
As I recursed into folders, it would have been nice to get all post(s)
that started with the current @tag. With keys that would be fast,
without keys and w/XPath alone it was quite slow.
Please, I'm not looking for a stylesheet or a solution; I have one.
This is just a language question ... which, BTW, I'm 99% sure the
answer is you cant.
Question #2: I have seen answers on the list where someone mentions
XSL and XSLT seperately (and deliberately). I thought the former was
just a shorter version of the latter. After all, isnt the main
purpose of the language to do transformations? Is there a difference?
Thx for indulging me!
