Hi Alistair:

-- snip --

So my questions are:
1. Do you think this is feasible through the use of just XSL?

- Especially if you are using schema to mean "XML Schema" or at least a
schema in an XML format (e.g. XDR or whatever), then XSLT is an
excellent (arguably the best) way of transforming your document from one
format to another.

2. Is it feasible to match nodes against data from a config file, and 
pass the resultant chosen node into a config defined transformation (say

calling a specific template)?

- The specific implementation of this would be impossible to assess
without a sample instance document and the two schemas you are
transforming.  However it sounds like you may be thinking of an
imperative approach, whereas XSLT works best in a functional manner.  In
any case, with more info, there's no doubt we can show you the right
direction to approach it.

HTH!

Dion
