You left out another quote from the spec: <note>It is possible for two conforming XSLT processors not to sort exactly the same</note> I don't know of any authority that tells me how to sort "lexicographically in the culturally correct manner" for English. The XSLT spec has a non-normative reference to a Unicode technical report (which it's quite possible James Clark tries to follow in xt). The fact is, if you look at two phone directories or indexes to see whether "-" collates before "0", you'll get two different answers. (Actually, I decided that once you get into "culturally correct" collating, there are so many different conventions that it's not worth trying very hard to get it right: instead I concentrated on providing user hooks to allow user-defined collating sequences in Saxon.) > I wish nobody will kill me, but I'm sure that there is a bug either in XT or in SAXON. xt: > > <code>0</code> > <code>-1</code> > <code>A</code> saxon: > <code>-1</code> > <code>0</code> > <code>A</code> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
