The former is true in the abstract but not in the concrete as anyone who has tried to process XML with pre-XML SGML tools will tell you. The latter has no basis in fact that I am aware of other than that they both share the same general approach. The same could be said of a lot of acronym tuples (GIF,BMP), (MP3,WAV) etc. I don't think it helps much. If anything, XSLT is what you get if you take the part of DSSSL that was never implemented and re-engineer it from scratch. regards, Sean http://www.pyxie.org - an Open Source XML Processing library for Python
