From your description it seems like a reasonable design approach. I'm not
sure why you are asking the question.

Subject: [xsl] Design Question: XSLT Configurable
Hi there,
i work on a application that let the users configure it to
their needs using a certain file (a user-settings.xml) during
the years this file has changed, so there exist different
versions now. my idea is to transform all of them to the
newest version.
the configuration file is a very simple xml file (max 2
levels), the changes are also moderate (create node, delete
node, rename node and merge content of nodes).
the thing is, i want to keep the transformation expandable by
only configuring what have changed from version to version.
e.g. like that
-------------------------------------
<Versions>
<Version nr="0.3">
<Actions>
<RenameAction fromElement="elementA"
toElement="elementD"/>
</Actions>
</Version>
<Version nr="0.2">
<Actions>
<MergeContentAction toElement="elementA" separator=" ">
<MergeFromElement name="elementB"/>
<MergeFromElement name="elementC"/>
</MergeContentAction>
</Actions>
</Version>
<Version nr="0.1">
</Versions>
-------------------------------------
so, i only will have one transformation file instead of a
file for each version.
what about this approach? i think that this is supposed to be
a common issue, isn't it?
Thanks for your ideas,
Matthias
