Correct, I don't think XSLT is the ideal language for that particular job. I've done it that way myself, and my experience is that you start making excessive use of extension functions to call into the outside environment, for example to manipulate files and other resources that XSLT was not designed to manipulate; you also start to introduce procedural logic where the results depend on order of execution. XSLT is full of rules like the stability rule (if you read the same document twice, it can't change in between) that get in the way at this level of the application. XSLT is essentially a special-purpose language - its design is optimized for the task of transforming XML to XML. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
