[Mono-list] XmlTextReader

[Fennell, Philip]

Thank you for the reply.

I agree with you that there is no such prohibition regarding the use of
mode, name and match attributes in a xsl:template. Apache Xalan does not
mind. However, the MSXML parser does and it has tripped people up
before. Me included.

I'll file a bug about the template error.

When someone is said to be talking 'Twoddle' it means they are talking
'rubbish' or 'nonsense'.


Regards

There is no such prohibition rule in XSLT 1.0 specification.

(What is "twoddle" ? I searched all English dictionary I can use..)

That just sounds like a bug if an xsl:template ghost exists and
is rejected. Please file a bug to bugzilla with the failing
stylesheet.

I have no idea why it could be Windows problem.
