In other words, InDesign doesn't use XML Consequently, you'll be forcing 
XSLT to do odd things in order to get the desired output. I think d-o-e is 
about your only hope for that problem.

I also really have to question XSLT's fitness for the task. I'd be turning 
to Perl about now, personally.

Shoot just realized we can't even do that as InDesign uses mandatory
nested tags to define paragraph styles, like <this is a tag<this is a
nested tag>>, so perhaps I will have to look at this all another way??
