Re: Issue found in XSLT runner key() function

[Svante Schubert <Svante.Schubert@Sun.COM>]

Hi Erik,

thanks for the report. Michael Brauer, who is the owner of the ODF XSLT 
runner program, is currently on vacation and will return next week.
He will take handle your request and perhaps even enable an issue 
tracking for odftoolkit, as an issue seems quite appropriate to your report.

Best regards,
Svante
