RE: [xsl] XPath Against OpenXML and OpenOffice Spreadsheets?

XQuery is better for this task - you can try eXist
(http://exist.sourceforge.net/) for data retrieving.


I would question that. In the work I have done with XML exported from MSWord
and Excel, I needed to make extensive use of XSLT 2.0 grouping facilities,
which have no direct equivalent in XQuery - the only way to achieve the same
effect in XQuery requires heavy use of recursive functions, which many users
find difficult to master.
