 Jenny,
Have a look at the beer tutorials
http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml/index.xml?/xml/tutorial/filtering/filter.xml
for a different way of doing this. If you are doing it serverside then
change your link to be something like
href="www.someplace.com/gimmeonebibitem.asp?id=someid" which would
return a single bibitem and an associated stylesheet
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" title="bibitemStylesheet"
href="bibitem.xsl" alternate="no" media="screen"?>
<bibitem type="inproceedings">
<author URL="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~whitaker/">R.
Whitaker</author>
<booktitle>Fifth
...
Or do the transform o the server and return the html.

> Whitaker</author>
> <booktitle>Fifth
> International Conference on Computer Vision '95</booktitle>

> <title>Algorithms for implicit deformable models</title>
> <year>1995</year>
> <abstract><p>This paper presents a framework for
> implicit deformable models and a pair of new algorithms for
> solving the nonlinear partial differential equations that
> result from this framework. Implicit models offer a useful
> alternative to parametric models, particularly when dealing
> with the deformation of higher-dimensional objects. The basic
> expressions for the evolution of implicit models are
> relatively straightforward; they follow as a direct
> consequence of the chain rule for differentiation. More
> challenging, however, is the development of algorithms that
> are stable and efficient.
>
> <p>The first algorithm is a viscosity approximation
> which gives solutions over a dense set in the range,
> providing a means of calculating the solutions of embedded
> families of contours simultaneously. The second algorithm
> incorporates sparse solutions for a discrete set of contours.
> This sparse-field method requires a fraction of the
> computation compared to the first but offers solutions only
> for a finite number of contours. Results from 3d medical data
> as well as video images are shown.
