But that will happen for any character outside of ASCII, not only for these which were encoded as &#nnn; in the input XML. So that is not an identity transformation then preservind numeric character references but rather a result serialization in an encoding that requires character references for anything outside of ASCII. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/ | ||||||
