... i am a newbie to xsl (but an old programmer). it was a lot of nonsense until i went thrpught a bunch of books. harold's seemed to be the real good (but i like java). I don't recall seeing this approach anywhere explicitly used. If I am re-inventing the wheel someone will no doubt let me know. no sure what that means, but (being a recycled mathematician), i've always thought that xslt was all about transfromations between trees (some people say it's just lisp in disguise, but i am not a lisper or schemer). it sounds like your approach might be similar to what i have in mind. one might be able to use examples about pruning and grafting and morphing fruits on fruit trees for example. oh yes, and xpath was terribly confusing (and still is). the syntax and semantics seem very inconsistant (sorta like perl). i mean it's juts a tree, how hard can it be to specify a path to some node. it's craziness is probably due to being designed by a committee. thanks
