XSLT and XPath Conformance Notes

  • Article

The Microsoft® XML Parser (MSXML) for Microsoft Windows® CE .NET supports the XSLT and XPath version 1.0 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendations. In addition, MSXML maintains backward compatibility with the Windows CE 3.0 MSXML implementation. There is no support for XSL formatting objects or for XSL data islands.

The MSXML parser implementation is based on the XSL Transformations (XSLT) version 1.0 W3C recommendation dated November 16, 1999 and the XML Path Language (XPath) version 1.0 W3C recommendation dated November 16, 1999.

Where the XSLT recommendation provides a fallback behavior in cases of error, for example, two matching templates with the same priority, MSXML performs the fallback behavior.

MSXML provides two mechanisms for implementing extension functions, embedded script implementations (msxsl:script Element) and external objects (addObject). MSXML does not provide a mechanism for implementing extension elements.
