XSL/Transform vs WD-xsl


http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl

Hi, I realise this is not all that much on the list topic, but I need to be 
using 'TR/WD-xsl'

I need a user to connect to an XML file, but I want to obviously display it 
with XSL. There is no XSLT conversion just '<?xml-stylesheet type = 
"text/xsl" href="showpools.xsl"?>' in the xml file.

Now, I need a general web user to be able to access the xsl file, but 
he/she wont neccesarily be able to use the 
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";, so I have to make use of 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";.

I got rid of my 'count()' and 'position()' functions, to solve my original 
problems.
My only problem now lies in the following. I am using Javascript which is 
embedded in my XSL file with

<script language="Javascript"><![CDATA[ //all javascript

         function myAlert() {
                 while(i < 3)
                 {
                 window.alert("hi");
                 }

         }
  ]]></script>

* My problem lies with the while(i < 3){} statement. I think it lies in the 
"<" sign, same with a ">" and "!" sign.

I dont understand why though. If I 
use"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; all works fine, but when I use 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"; I get errors with the "<" sign. I thought 
there wouldnt be a problem as I used "CDATA", but still no luck.

* Another point. Would I have the same problem if I converted the XML to 
HTML by using Javascript. I assume I would as this will be done at the 
client that wont be using the '1999/XSL/Transform'. Is this a commonly used 
way of displaying XML info, or is it better to just reference the XSL file ?

Thank you

Karlo
