Re: How is this part of the XSLT specification to be interpreted?

But youve made it more crypticly self referential, haven't you?

  <xsl:template match="main:xxx">
    <doc:template>
      <xsl:fallback><doc>
        This template matches the  "<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>"
  element.</doc>

Here you are using embedded XSL to within the documentation of
the XSL, furthermore since the XSL refers to the source document
you can't get a readable vesrion of the documentation without
actually running the stylesheet on the source????

Wouldn't it be clearer to have

 This template matches the xxx element from the namespace associated
 with main:


That way the pretty printer only needs the _stylesheet_ as input, not
the stylesheet and the source document.

why Java? XSLT seems the most obvious implementation language.
