Any valid Unicode character is allowed in an element name,
which is great.
<Urmel>
<Vorspeise>Süßkirschen mit Käsesoße</Vorspeise>
<Übelkeit/>
</Urmel>
Now let's transform this encoding it in ASCII.
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output encoding="us-ascii"/><!-- Alles ASCII ! -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
It doesn't work using Saxon 6.5, 9, or Xalan-C.
#### Xalan-C reports an error:
SAXException Message is: 'DC' is an invalid Unicode scalar value.
#### So does Saxon 6.5:
Error at xsl:copy on line 5 of file:/home/mludwig/Werkstatt/xsl/ascii.xsl:
Invalid character in output name (Übelkeit)
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported
#### So does Saxon 9.0:
Error at xsl:copy on line 5 of file:/home/mludwig/Werkstatt/xsl/ascii.xsl:
SERE0008: Element name contains a character (decimal + 220) not
available in the selected encoding
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported
#### LibXSLT (1.1.22) to the rescue!
$ xsltproc ascii.xsl ascii-soll-es-werden.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Urmel>
<Vorspeise>Süßkirschen mit Käsesoße</Vorspeise>
<Übelkeit/>
</Urmel>
So is LibXSLT preferable in this respect? Or would I be justified
reporting this as a bug?
