HI Guy, Yes XSL should be useful for XLink. We are actually transforming XML/XLINK documents into HTML+CSS with DSSSL. We didn't made any XSL script for that but this is feasible. You have basically to interpret xlink markups and translate them into HTML links. Of course this work well when you have one-to-one links. One-to-many does not work as well. We are thinking of creating a control that will allow you to do one-to-many links. So the transform could be complete. Ekiot Kimber gave good clues on how to transform XLink into HTML.

Hi. Is anybody looking at how XLink might be integrated with XSL? Given that the navigation metaphor is often a major part of a Web site UI, and in the future XLink (or XLink-like mark-up) as a resource external from an XML document might we the method of choice for a lot of designers, I think this might be of great import to XSL. I haven't looked at XLink in any great detail (intend to try and correct that this week-end), but are we going to have to look at a mechanism for XSL to combine or take two input trees? Or do we have to wait on XML parser support for XLink directly. If it's an XSL concern then a mechanism can probably be produced that will have application beyond XLink. If it's an XML parser concern then we might end up with a highly specific solution. It seems to me that XLink might only be the start of formalising the moving of meta-data to resources external to the document, in particular site/application-wide meta-data. Anybody given any head-space to this?
