That's not bad, but surely it's relatively efficient due to the similarity between the XML source, which consists largely of paragraphs of text, and the desired output, which is not much more than a copy of the source with some markup swapped. I tend to see projects that deal with small data sources used to produce fairly small output, but being produced by very long stylesheets that need to do complex interpretations of that data.

Interesting version numbering they've got there. Apparently 1.0b2 is current and 4.1.2.5 is old. Anyway, that's my point. They are constructively engineering a workaround, rather than griping that dialup networks are holding back the growth of the web. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/
