Warning/Caution paragraph

Trying to load whitespace-pi.xml in firefox gives:

Error loading stylesheet: (null)
file:///.../learningxslt2/ch02/ws.xsl

Modifying the file to point to whitespace.xsl seems to give the intended results.

Below last para / before XML listing (also on page header on pg 89 & 90)

The XML listing is precedeed with the wrong heading description (in italics) saying what it is. It should be 'Example 4-3. An XML list Candian provinces' not 'An XML list of contributors to XML 1.0'

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. Should be:

Example 4-3. An XML list of Canadian provinces
