So, Dave was talking about outlines

which of course meant I started thinking about otlml. Which, in turn, made me think about the opml2otlml stylesheet I still haven't written. That got me thinking that it would be cool if you could do this:




&lt;xsl:copy-of select = "transform(document($xml),document($xsl))" />

Then it occurred to that you might be able to do the same thing like this (untested) :




&lt;xsl:for-each select = "/xpath/to/some/xref[@style != '']">



 &lt;xsl:variable name = "style" select = "@style" />



 &lt;xsl:include href = "$style" />



&lt;/xsl:for-each>







...







&lt;!-- would really be a choose... -->



&lt;xsl:if test = "@style">



 &lt;xsl:apply-templates>



  &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="document($uri)/$xpath"/>



 &lt;/xsl:apply-template>



&lt;/xsl:if>

So now I'm wondering if I really need to add an include element to the DTD...

Joe Johnston : "It's not the language designer's perview to make you code clearly.

Any claim a language makes to being inherently cleaner to code in (I'm looking at you, Java and python) is naive. I don't expect a java programmer to maintain a Perl program, just as I don't expect a Perl programmer to maintain a java program. In fact, that's why I'm not an editor for a Japanese magazine -- I have no facility for the language. Does that mean Japanese is inferior to English?"
