Hi,

I am new to this list but I have a quite hard subject for my stand-in ;)

If I can transform a specific XML to, say, a specific HTML document like 
this

  data.xml ----------------> data.html
               data.xsl

is there an algorithm (e.g. called "invert") that, given the input data.xsl 
can produce  invert(data.xsl) so that

  data.html ----------------------> data.xml
               invert(data.xsl)

?

i don't see how, since there may be many XML files that could
have generated that single HTML file (basically, a many-to-one
mapping).

it might be possible for extremely restricted cases, but certainly
not in general.
