Speaking only about serialization with MSXML this holds for both xsl:output
methods, XML and HTML. Why do you think its different for HTML?
Because I demonstrated it in the earlier email ... copied below ...
look at the end result ... manfred1.xsl uses method="html" and
manfred2.xsl uses method="xml" and the serialization by MSXML is
demonstratively different.
Why do you think the serialization by MSXML of the two is the same?
