Dan,

So I agree with this. In particular, if you were to normalize all the div* elements to simple "div" (assuming you still need them at all :-), you'd find you lost no functionality (it's easy to determine or work off of the depth of any element, when necessary) but your XPaths would become significantly simpler and neater, hence easier to write and debug. I have a template that follows that gathers all the index terms together and try's to group them with the saxon:group function (I'm still using XSLT v1 at this point). This could be true, though you should assess it carefully: I'd say it depends on a number of contingent factors, such as whether Docbook's bells and whistles are the ones you want, and whether you already know Docbook or would also benefit in other ways by getting into it. (In other words, this is the classic trade-off between bespoke and off-the-shelf.) At a minimum, Docbook's code is certainly good and well worth looking at for real-world solutions to this kind of problem. Cheers, Wendell
