On September 30 at the SGML/XML conference in Tokyo, my (as yet unreleased) shareware X2D stylesheet was announced. This is a DSSSL stylesheet for any DSSSL engine that will render an XSL FO tree as created out of XT. Given the warnings in the first WD about flow objects, I suspended development after getting started until the next release of the WD (I'm not privy to the XSL WG work) and next release of XT (I'm *eagerly* awaiting both), so I hadn't yet made an announcement to the XSL group. I implemented X2D with some simple XSL semantics to prove to myself it could be done. There's a link on my shareware resources page for being notified of information about the software. Would a componentized solution be acceptable for your competition? The components being a DSSSL stylesheet and DSSSL engine. I talked with others at the Chicago conference, and I haven't heard of other efforts started yet ... perhaps your challenge will spark other approaches. .............. Ken -- G.
