Dan,

At 12:40 PM 9/18/2003, you wrote:

I was merely pointing out that I hadn't found any other examples of this
(website maps created programatically from XML), which I found a bit
strange as I'd imagine there's plenty of people out there building
websites who have the XML/SVG knowledge to do this.

And you have managed to find an interesting niche thereby. It is a bit puzzling, since it does seem a rather obvious application -- but as you found, the XSLT requires a bit of creativity: it isn't trivial. :->

BTW, if you're interested in tree-drawing algorithms, just ask.

Also, I think it helps that you approached the task by first building that metadata layer, whereas most of the web site drivers so far (whether public or private) have gasped their way across the finish line -- sometimes in fine form, too! -- without building the higher layer, instead slating it for version 2.

Cheers,
Wendell
