RE: Using a pre-processor for dynamic inputs

(a) if the inputs are fairly predictable in structure, you can write your
stylesheet to interpret the inputs. For example, you might supply a
parameter to the stylesheet of the form:

<conditions>
  <condition>
    <attribute>name</attribute>
    <value>robin</value>
  </condition>
  <condition>
    <attribute>size</attribute>
    <value>small</value>
  </condition>
</conditions>

Or even better, put the condition in the match pattern:

  <xsl:template
   match="Species[Extinct='False' and Genus_Name='Casuarius']">
      <p>species name is <xsl:value-of select="Species_Name"/></p>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Species"/>

Yeah, I should have explained this is what I wanted, but couldn't get it to work right (because I didn't have the second template)!

Cheers,
Wendell
