I find it very useful to embed small lookup tables in named templates in the stylesheet. It is simple to get them using document("") (of course you can use a key and a global variable to make it faster and more readable). I do not think that this would be possible - or at least understandable - for a non-xml syntax. Cheers, Tom P XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
