Fair point.

But the behaviour is very different. With value-of (or any element)
the white space used for indentation is stripped, but with "stuff"
it is not and the text node generated has content "&#10;  stuff&#10;"

Hmmm... OK. They don't tell you *that* in "SAMS Teach Yourself XML in
10 Nanoseconds" ;-)

Also some XML parsers (notably msxml) default to validation mode when
they see a doctype so try to validate the stylesheet which generates
lots of spurious errors.

Also good to know.

The one thing nxml-mode doesn't do is tell you exactly
where your document becomes invalid.

It sticks a big red line to mark the spot doesn't it?

Er... no.  Not here.  Maybe because I use a text console?  I'll check
it under X when I have a moment.  Thanks for all your comments.  The
&content; substitution policy is under review ;-)
