DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: Using DocBook XSL for previewing in XMetaL 3.0?

[David Cramer <dcramer@broadjump.com>]

I've had good luck with it. There's a situation where msxml gets
confused resolving entities. I can't remember what it is, but it seems
like it is not the same 'relative to the place it was used rather than
declared' problem that Saxon used to have.

Btw., I finally found the post that taught me this trick. It has some
more details:

Perhaps Dave P. could put it in the faqs.
