I don't know, Dave. The fact is that XSL and DSSSL documents,
at least the ones I have seen or written (just a few!) have very
similar structures. So, if I am able to write down a set of rules to
transform one into another one, I should be able (with a good deal of
time, maybe) to write a translator ; and I hoped that some daring mind had tried it.
