[XML-SIG] xsl:comment in 4XSLT

[Tamito KAJIYAMA]

Hi,

I've used 4Suite 0.9.2 with Python 2.0 and PyXML 0.6.2.

I have a problem with 4XSLT.  In the content of the xsl:comment
element, a text node yields a string encoded in UTF-8 instead
the encoding specified by <xsl:output encoding="...">.
Following reproduces the problem:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
from xml.xslt.Processor import Processor

STYLESHEET = """\
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

<xsl:template match="para">
<para><xsl:value-of select="."/></para>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="note">
<xsl:comment><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:comment>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
"""

XMLDOCUMENT = u"""\
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc>
<para>H\344agen-Dazs</para>
<note>H\344agen-Dazs</note>
</doc>
"""

processor = Processor()
processor.appendStylesheetString(STYLESHEET)
result = processor.runString(XMLDOCUMENT.encode("utf-8"))
print repr(result)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This script gives the following output:

"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>\012\012<para>H\344agen-Dazs</para>\012<!--H\303\244agen-Dazs-->\012"

where the para element has the correct content, but the comment
does not.  Why?

Thanks,
