	Ah - so the XSLT expert is Peter Jentsch who has done a load of great
work in this area, writing the much faster / smaller native C++ filter
etc. He can prolly help out with some code pointers, and/or perhaps some
simple example XSLTs that might be useful for translating attributes /
elements (?), and ways to get feed the required data to them elegantly.

	HTH,

		Michael.
