This post may have been delayed, but your post on the xml@g... mailing
list is the best place to ask these questions.  Now that you've had some 
feedback, you could send some refined questions.

If you want information on XSLT, then I believe the place to go is the list
at http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/
(xsl-list@l...).

HTH,

Pete.
