Hi Eric,

Eric said:
Do you really want to use a hammer on a screw? 

If so you can easily use XSLT to generate a XSLT transformation to do
the job.

Otherwise (before Simon says it) a simple SAX filter seems like a better
tool to do the mapping.

Didier replies:
If for each domain language I have to use a different stylesheet then I
do not re-enforce re-use of the existing stylesheets. It sounds like a
quick fix but not as a sound long term solution. 

To go back to your introduction: let's not make an hammer of Hlink and
everything else a nail. Let's instead find a sound, economical solution
to the problem.

We are at the inflection point were XML could be made a great framework
or just a trial in the trial and error path every community has to go
through.

Cheers
Didier PH Martin
