Re: ITP: xslj, a XSL processor (XSL is one of the stylesheet format of XML)

Sad but true. (I actually like scheme, and have written jade
"transformation" style sheets for personal dtd's very effectively, yet
that isn't even real DSSSL, that's a jade extension...) On the other
hand, my "slideshow" DTD can't really be formatted into slides with
jade, AFAIK; though jade is great to transform it to html for the web
site, the slides are raw PostScript generated by a perl script using
XML::Parser (older versions used SGMLS.) See
http://www.mit.edu/iap/xml/index.html
for the examples. So maybe the "single stylesheet" model is weak;
even for docbook, the print and html DSSSL are separate (related, but
distinct.)
FYI, to keep up with new X*L development,
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/sgmlnew.html
has daily updates on new software in this space; for XSL in
particular,
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xsl.html#xslSoftware
is a good place to check and see if you've missed anything...
