Thanks for pointing out that link. You are right, I did not know about XSLScript. The idea is the same, but the approach is slightly different: there is no such thing as a ShoXS file or a ShoXS processor. ShoXS is just the syntax you use to edit XSL and display it in an editor, but you would not save ShoXS but XSL.
