Relevant parts repeated here: We say about using xsl:use-when on elements not in the XSLT namespace the following: "A literal result element, or any other element within a stylesheet module that is not in the XSLT namespace, may similarly carry an xsl:use-when attribute." We use the words "similarly" and "carry". But we don't seem to explicitly say that the same rules apply, i.e., that if the EBV is false(), the LRE is effectively excluded, including all its children. In the case of data elements and extension instructions I would argue that its behavior on that instruction is implementation defined. Or if not, I think we should explicitly say so. ---- A proposal to fix this has first been reported here: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-wg/2015Oct/0024.html. On the XSLWG telcon of 2015-10-15 this proposal was accepted. 123725 1 mike 2015-10-15 21:31:42 +0000 I have moved the sentence ""A literal result element, or any other element within a stylesheet module that is not in the XSLT namespace, may similarly carry an xsl:use-when attribute." to remove this potential misunderstanding. I have also added a note to the section on shadow attributes to clarify the effect of attributes whose name begins with underscore on literal result elements, extension instructions, and data elements.
