The @status of coin/bill allows for additional information like uncommen (at the bank you've to ask for it and if youre lucky you get some), deprecated (nolonger in use, in this case an additional attribute like @since would be cool. But this would lead to inclusion of the full history of a currency and this is definitely more work than anyone wants to do/needs (just designing the DTD might be a lot of work already)) Unforunately this has nothing to do with XSL-T anymore :-((. What was the URL of the XML standart stuff webpage. (There are so many things that should have an XML file describing all localization variants ... something like this should have a intuitive URI ...) Please bear with me, it's 4:24 in the morning (CEST) here. Good night, Goetz.
