The two solutions are under studies :-) I' m working in an engineering
school and the project using DSSSL is related to academic curricula.
The data are extracted from a database, creating a huge sgml file.
This file is then processed through Jade. No i didn't put my hands on
groves already :-)

Actually I'm treating separately the French and English parts, but
getting a mixed output could be interesting : there are numerous
duplicated infos in the two documents. Being able to give, for
example, a course description in the two languages could save some
paper.
