Re: [xsl] Is XSLT the right tool for XML to SGML conversions

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess an awful lot depends on how much your desired SGML output deviates
from the XML subset of SGML.

Are there things you need to produce that are outside the XML data model (e.g.
unnamed processing instructions)?

Or are all the differences at the serialization level?

If it's only a difference of serialization, then it should be easy enough to
write your own serializer or customize the Saxon serializer (so long as you
don't mind writing a bit of Java).
