RE: How can you turn off xslt reserved tags?

Three points:

(a) The only reserved element names in XSLT are names in the XSLT namespace.
Using the local name param is no problem if it's in a different namespace.
If you need to generate elements in the XSLT namespace there are ways of
doing this (either use xsl:element, or use namespace aliasing), but I don't
think you need this.

(b) XSLT stylesheets must be well-formed XML documents. That means you can't
have elements inside attributes. To construct the attribute value, use an
AVT: value="{some/value}".

(c) XSLT stylesheets must be well-formed XML documents. This means that the
<param> start tag has to have a matching end tag. I'm not sure if this is a
problem in your case as you only showed a snippet: but the answer to your
stated wish "I don't want to have to make this well formed" is: you're out
of luck.

Subject: [xsl] How can you turn off xslt reserved tags?

Hi,

I'm using XSLT 1.0, using DOM to parse in my java app, and I have the
following issue:

- parse XML file with XSL, output set to html
- one of my tags in my HTML will be for an applet, for example:

<applet ...>
      <param name="foo" value="bar">
      ...
</applet>

- In XSL, param is a reserved tag.  This is a problem because I don't
want to have to make this well formed.  Not only that, XSLT processor
also complains about param tags in my XSL page that contain something
like the following:

<param name="someName" value="<xsl:value-of select="some/value"/>">

XSL doesn't allow me to have a value-of tag nested here.

Does anyone know how to turn XSL's param tag off - or how can I output
it to my own formatting and nested tags as shown above?

Thx,
- Noah
