This would work fine except we already have a rather robust infrastructure and schema around the XML file. To do it your way would require an enormous amount of rewriting, something just not possible at this time. It pretty much boils down to the fact that the least amount of work dictates the use of an attribute, whose value can contain both static and dynamic (from the DOM) text, which will be placed in the header/footer of the report. Originally I wanted to embed XSLT in the attribute, but ended up with the string parsing routine instead, which works pretty good. The only downside is the character | can't be part of the static text, but I really don't think that's ever going to be a problem. And I could enhance the parser to fix it if it ever was a problem.
