Re: [xsl] Is XSLT the right tool for XML to SGML conversions

I guess an awful lot depends on how much your desired SGML output deviates from 
the XML subset of SGML.

Are there things you need to produce that are outside the XML data model (e.g. 
unnamed processing instructions)?

Or are all the differences at the serialization level?

If it's only a difference of serialization, then it should be easy enough to 
write your own serializer or customize the Saxon serializer (so long as you 
don't mind writing a bit of Java).

Hi All,
 
I am at the preliminary stage of looking at a project. The input will be 
authored in XML, but the output will be SGML. Is XSLT (version 2.0) a 
reasonable language for doing this? Any pointers to examples, best practices, 
etc., would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
