Although I've done a little work with XSL in PHP, I haven't experienced any Unicode issues. Our text data is stored in the attributes of an XML tag, and this seems to work well for us. One issue we do have is with named entities (ie.   needs to be written as  ). Trouble with XSLT could easily fill several articles.. Hi Robert,

This sounds similar to something me and my boss were discussing re. using XSLT and defining some of the application behaviour+events in XML. How do you deal with the crappy Unicode handling in XSL? Or do you use PHP+DOMDocument to parse the files? Hi David,

Nice idea. This sounds similar to something me and my boss were discussing re. using XSLT and defining some of the application behaviour+events in XML.

How do you deal with the crappy Unicode handling in XSL? Or do you use PHP+DOMDocument to parse the files?
