Re: [xsl] white space to + in query string

[Wendell Piez <wapiez at mulberrytech dot com>]

If you're really paranoid (I should get extra Eudora hot peppers for saying 
that -- huh, no....), you might want to normalize space before you do the 
translate, to avoid extra "+" signs in your href:

<a href="{translate(normalize-space(@some_attribute,' ','+'))}">

Cheers,
Wendell
