writing good tutorial books is very hard. it happens that the DSSSL
community has not yet thrown up the person who combines expertise with 
writing skill with interest. If it hadnt been that the big money
whored off after developing XSL, I am sure something like Paul
Prescod's tutorial would have developed, or Jon Bosak would have
written something. Its one of the dangers

Jane can read the tutorials by Prescod and German, can't she? having
been inspired by the chapters in various books [1].

"The LaTeX Web Companion", Goossens and Rahtz, Addison
Wesley, 1999, has a section on typesetting from XML. It talks about
DSSSL, XSL etc. It has, I claim, the first properly
published description of JadeTeX. Plus the book has of course lots of
other good things too
