Hi,
the following is a scenario, which might possibly related to the question
of dynamic modes.
Suppose I have a given DTD and a stylesheet from someone, that transforms
valid documents into HTML or something else (for example DocBook or
xmlspec). I think it's not important to know, how the provided stylesheet
works in detail.
Ok, now I extend the DTD (e.g. by using parameter entities) and of
course extend the stylesheet, too:
<xsl:stylesheet ...>
<xsl:include href="original.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="added-element">
...
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
To be sure I can add a "catch all" template, too:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="name()"> not processed</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>
So the problem is: if the included stylesheet uses modes to process the
input, my templates wont be used. I have no way to find out, for which
modes I need to provide my additional templates, except I look into the
stylesheet code.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Oliver
