Re: Conditionally use attribute sets?

It can be done. 

what can be done?

The OP wrote: "  I'd like to conditionally add an attribute set to an 
element." The stylesheet I wrote does that. Of course, it always adds one, 
but it's conditional. I figured the OP could get to doing it with xsl:if 
on his own.


Consider the following stylesheet

But that stylesheet doesn't use attribute sets at all.
It writes out a result that happens to have an atribute called
xsl:use-attribute-sets but the attribute sets defined in the stylesheet
e are not used, are they?

I thought the point was to get the attribute set into the output element, 
which it did.


 (which you can test by  applying it to itself):

but you get the same result if you remove

  <xsl:attribute-set name="Oscar">
    <xsl:attribute name="slob">yes</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>

  <xsl:attribute-set name="Felix">
    <xsl:attribute name="slob">no</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>

from the stylesheet.

Yes. I put them in so that what I was referring to would be defined, not 
to use them. I thought the OP wanted that rather than wanting them to be 
expanded. I assumed he was going to do a further transformation later in 
his process.

Sorry about any confusion.
