RE: [xsl] Re: attribute closest match

["Matthew L. Avizinis" <mla at gleim dot com>]

I'm happy knowing that there are widely varying differences of opinion on
this matter.
So, Dimitre, how precise is precise?  If I were to define closest match to
be words that contain all of the letters with one transposition, e.g. hte
for the, or the spelling is correct except for one letter, e.g. mofe for
mode, would that, iyo, be precise enough?
Of course a spelling checker might prevent many of these kinds of errors in
data entry, but it would still be, I believe, an interesting exercise to be
able to catch these kinds of errors if data was entered without a
spellchecker abvailable (this would be another type of error I would include
later because it seems like it would be more difficult to check for).
Any more help, suggestions, (or even code)?
thanks,
