Well, check out Michael Kay's XSLT Programmer's Reference
under the xsl:text element. It gives an example of
where <xsl:text/> is useful for controlling whitespace. 8^)
Dennis also mentioned that using '>' in <xsl:if> test attributes
worked. Kay's book points out that only '<' needs to
be escaped as '<' in attribute values, and not '>'.
I guess I do both out of habit so I don't have to remember
which is which.
