Now that's a creative solution. I'm going to have to ponder on that one, as it's caught me sort of sideways. I know that MS ASP Remote Scripting uses a Java proxy to buffer data between the client document and the server, so I suppose there's no reason why such a proxy shouldn't be an XSL parser recieving XML. Do you know is anybody working on such an implimentation?

In fact, there's a second interesting alternative - transfer the XML to the client, and convert it to there, then give it to the browser. Given the existing 100% Java XSL processors, this can be done by an applet inside the browser. If the XML is much smaller then the generated HTML, this trades CPU cycles on the client for bandwidth - a reasonable tradeoff these days. Oren.
