I would support this - my early excursions into SGML used the CoST tool which allowed transformation on the ESIS stream. I believe that it was consciously decided that XSL should not be a transformation language. This leaves a big gap for those of who are more concerned with processing content rather than rendering. Both are important, but the current XSL requirements are increasingly related to precision and flexibility of rendering. P.
