someone wondered why i want to use '&content;' in place of
<xsl:value-of select='.' />, especially given that i have nxml-mode's
autocompletion features to hand. well, the main reason is that
visually it's a hundred times easier to spot.
I tend to disagree. Someone who is used to reading XSLT code but unused to
your personal coding style will recognize <xsl:value-of select="."/> far
more quickly than they recognize &content;.
One of my first professional programming assignments involved making
enhancements to an assembler program that made extensive use of a personal
(and of course undocumented) macro library. It was a nightmare, and I've
resisted such temptations ever since.
