There must be something wrong, when you load an XML file the first
time, you should not be in debug mode. Also it should not happen that
you're in debug mode and xslt-process-debug-mode is nil.

Something is wrong with your setup or with the code somewhere, but I
don't see this behavior here on any of my machines. Could you please
send me your .emacs file?

This doesn't look like the right thing. The if statement in my
original code was setting up the mode if the value of
`xslt-process-mode' is non-nil, and disabled it otherwise. In your
code you effectively disable the debug mode, but the code doesn't
setup the menus and the rest. Moreover, on the "else" clause, your
version adds and then removes the menus, which is not a good thing.

Could you explain the intent of the change?

Glad to see NeXT still lives on through its users ;-) I'm dreaming of
going back to Mac OS X some time, but I'm not sure I want to shell out
quite a bit of money to buy their proprietary hardware. The OS looks
great, I'd love to see it running on PCs, as the old OpenStep did.
