Please look at the
http://oc.postgrespro.ru/index.php/s/ttJyMDLr8Xr1HTu/download
where I have gathered together all the significant differences, that we
have between DSSSL and XSLT outputs.
I have marked red the differences that I would consider as negative.
Let's decide which ones are acceptable and which we need to eliminate.
Best regards,
Alexander
