Another advantage: in xslt there are (generally) no problems with conflicting rules, as xslt has it's own specification for evaluating the most relevant "match" at any point. In omnimark you have to be careful to avoid conflicting rules, and when you get into large conversion scripts, this makes code incredibly cumbersome (E.g element trench when (parent is hope and ancestor isnt para and ancestor isnt intro etc etc)) ****************************************************************** Warning: This email, including any attachments, is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.
