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

["Dave Pawson dave.pawson@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not IMHO Rick? One option,
   XSLT is targetted at XML output (or text or html).
I *think*, to produce shorttag etc you'd need to use text output (a pain?)
Other option, If you're prepared to use XML class of output (well
formed) then yes,
You can easily hack round the edge cases (DTD decl etc).
 Your project choice

etc., would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
