Er, well, this is less than 100% correct. The transformational component of XSL, XSLT, can be used on its own, sans "display" requirements, to convert between XML dialects, with some restrictions. In fact, that's really all XSLT does -- creates a result (XML) tree from a source (XSL) tree. But you're right that Perl, Python, et al. *can* be used instead of XSL. ========================================================== John E.
