Just a quick update on this.
The solutions that Abel and David gave me hit the sweet spot. I was
able to hack up my stylesheets to parse the XML dump and twist the
styles into the new markup. It is still fairly primitive, but I have
a very good base going forward. My biggest concern was performance,
and the performance of this is very good indeed. Some of these
spreadsheets are *BIG*.
I did need to use a couple of PHP callouts. Since it is a wiki, I
wanted the spreadsheet authors to be able to embed wiki in their
spreadsheets, and that requires one callout. Also, I wasn't that
happy with the date formatting in XPath, so I use PHP's date()
formatter to display TimeDate values.
I'd like to thank the members for their invaluable help on this.
