Got it. Thanks for the quick response.
I resubscribed with my regular email addy, now I see that you mask
them in the archives.
As you pointed out, I am very used to learning new languages, but
they are all OO/Procedural. I have also had little trouble learning
BNF, CSS and [X]HTML, which are static layout languages.
From what I can see of XSLT, it is a **very** limited procedural
language, mixed with a layout language, that sits on top of a pretty
intense parsing engine. Sort of a "control panel" for the engine.

First of all, this list is a lot about discussing possible and best
approaches and people are always very willing to help you out. Your
problem seems a fairly trivial task and your "view" of XSLT seems
from procedural / oo point-of-view which seems to be in your way of
making XSLT work for you.
We'll need some more info and discussion with you to answer your
questions. The list is busy, but not very busy (some 20-40 mail/
day) please change your subscription to a normal one so we can have
some conversation. I have a lot of questions for you before I can
actually start helping you, and others may too, so don't hold your
horses for a week and suspect some real answers in the digest,
unless you can join the discussion meanwhile (you can always change
back to digest afterwards).
Cheers,

(PS: I send you a copy of this message, but I don't want a

account)
