The cardinal rule when marshalling data should be "eliminate unnecessary information as early in the process as possible" - typically in the relational database layer itself. Otherwise, you're just chewing up bandwidth and memory, and forcing platforms not well suited to data manipulation (such as XSLT) to do the work instead... - Kevin XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
